Swynnerton's bush squirrel

Mammals

Swynnerton's bush squirrel, Paraxerus vexillarius, is a rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to Tanzania. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forests. The article also records the variant spelling Svynnerton's bush squirrel for the same species. The species was described by Kershaw in 1923 and belongs to the genus Paraxerus. The infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives an International Union for Conservation of Nature rating of Least Concern from the 2019 assessment. The article is a short stub that states the family, the Tanzanian endemism and the habitat, and gives no description of the animal.
