Prevost's Squirrel

Callosciurus prevostii

Prevost's Squirrel

Prevost's squirrel inhabits lowland tropical forests and forest edges across Southeast Asia, moving rapidly through the canopy and understory. It eats fruits, seeds, nuts, flowers, and occasional insects, often carrying food to a secure perch. Its striking tricolored coat of black, white, and reddish-orange makes it one of the region's most distinctive tree squirrels.
