The Philippine pygmy squirrel, Exilisciurus concinnus, is a small rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to the Philippines. Oldfield Thomas described it in 1888, and the infobox of its English Wikipedia article gives an International Union for Conservation of Nature rating of Least Concern from the 2016 assessment. The article records that in April 2024 the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in the Socsargen and Davao regions documented the rarest sightings of this squirrel and of the Mindanao squirrel in the 80,864-hectare Mount Apo Natural Park, a report attributed to Director Felix Alicer. Beyond the family and the endemism, the article says little else about the animal.
