Low's squirrel

Low's squirrel (Sundasciurus lowii) is a small squirrel of Southeast Asia, recorded in Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, with field studies at sites such as Kinabalu National Park and Danum Valley Conservation Area. Animal Diversity Web says it lives in lower montane and lowland forest between about 200 and 900 metres, including primary and secondary growth, and forages mostly on the forest floor while climbing trees and large shrubs to feed or to build nests. It averages about 76 grams and roughly 25 centimetres in total length, and is recognised by its thick tail and very white underbelly. It is diurnal and omnivorous, eating insects, fungi, fruit and a good deal of bark. Its nests of leaves and plant fibre sit on the ground, between low branches or in tree cavities. It was assessed as Least Concern in 2016 with a stable population trend.
