Mindanao squirrel

Mammals

The Mindanao squirrel (Sundasciurus mindanensis) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to the Philippines. It belongs to the genus Sundasciurus. Wikipedia records that in April 2024 the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Socsargen and Davao Region documented what its director called the rarest sightings of the Mindanao squirrel and the endemic Philippine pygmy squirrel inside the 80,864-hectare Mount Apo Natural Park. That report is the only recent field record the article gives, and it says nothing else about the animal's appearance, diet, habits or numbers.
