Davao squirrel

Mammals

The Davao squirrel, Sundasciurus davensis, is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to the Philippines. It was described by Colin Campbell Sanborn in 1952 and belongs to the genus Sundasciurus, which it shares with Brooke's squirrel, the Busuanga squirrel and the Culion tree squirrel. The IUCN Red List lists it as Data Deficient, meaning that there is too little information to judge its conservation status. The sources read for this entry record very little else about its habitat, diet or behaviour, so those facts are not yet documented here.
