Northern Palawan tree squirrel

Mammals

The Northern Palawan tree squirrel, Sundasciurus juvencus, is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae, the squirrel family. It is endemic to the Philippines, meaning it occurs nowhere else, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests. The English Wikipedia article on it is a short stub resting on the squirrel chapter of Mammal Species of the World by Thorington and Hoffman, published in 2005, so this entry records the identification, the genus Sundasciurus given in its binomial name, its endemism to the Philippines and its dry forest habitat. Diet, size, behaviour and conservation status are not stated there and are left open.
