Montane long-nosed squirrel

Mammals

The montane long-nosed squirrel (Hyosciurus heinrichi) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to central Sulawesi in Indonesia, so it is found nowhere else. Its natural habitat is given as subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. The species was discovered during a 1930 expedition led by Gerd Heinrich. It is placed in the genus Hyosciurus. The Wikipedia article is a short stub, so its appearance, diet, behaviour and conservation status are not covered here.
