Maritime striped squirrel

Mammals

The maritime striped squirrel, Tamiops maritimus, also known as the eastern striped squirrel, is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is found in southern and eastern China, including Hainan, in Taiwan, and in Laos and Vietnam east of the Mekong River. It is diurnal and highly arboreal, and it feeds on fruits, seeds and insects. Its diet also includes the nectar of a ginger, Alpinia kwangsiensis. Wikipedia describes the species in a single short passage, so little more about its biology is recorded there.
