Swinhoe's Striped Squirrel
Tamiops swinhoei
Swinhoe's striped squirrel inhabits subtropical and montane forests, often foraging through branches and dense undergrowth. It is an alert, nimble climber that searches for seeds, nuts, fruit, buds, and insects. Individuals use sharp claws to climb and may give calls when disturbed. The distinctive pale stripes along its back help distinguish it from many other small forest squirrels.
