Red-bellied tree squirrel 
Profile
Scientific name: Callosciurus erythraeus flavimanus thaiwanensis
Common name: Fluffy squirrel

Features: The Red-bellied tree squirrel is about 20cm long and weighs less than 500g. They each have a red belly, two big red eyes, a large pair of front teeth, a short coat of brown hair, and a fluffy tail from which they get their nickname, "Fluffy squirrel."
Behavior: The diet of Red-bellied tree squirrels consists of seeds, fruits, buds, flowers, bugs, and bird eggs. Timid and forgetful by nature, the squirrels have a habit of hiding their food and then forgetting where they've hidden it. However, it is because of this forgetfulness that the seeds they have buried have the chance to germinate and rejoin nature as new trees. The Red-bellied tree squirrel can easily adapt to different environments and can be seen in orchards, bamboo forests, secondary forests, broad-leaved forests, and coniferous forests.
Habitat: Red-bellied tree squirrels inhabit orchards, bamboo forests, and secondary forests on flat ground, as well as virgin broad-leaved forests and virgin coniferous forests at middle altitudes.
