TREE SQUIRREL Paraxerus cepapi

They eat bark, leaves, fruit, flowers and seed. They can be found alone or in small, related groups. Males defend a territory, which is marked by all members in the group. They are only active during the daytime and spend a lot of time feeding on the ground. They too like other species of squirrel will store food away. Anyone at the entrance hole to their nest is vigorously snuffed to check if they are a member of the group. Females will give birth to 1-3 young after a gestation period of 2 months.
