Shrew-faced squirrel : ウィキペディア英語版 | Shrew-faced squirrel
The shrew-faced squirrel (''Rhinosciurus laticaudatus'') , also known as the long-nosed squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family. It is monotypic within the genus ''Rhinosciurus''. It is found in forests in Peninsular Malaysia (possibly also in adjacent southern Thailand), Singapore, Sumatra and Borneo. This peculiar, terrestrial squirrel mainly feeds on insects and earthworms.〔Ecology Asia: ''(Shrew-faced Ground Squirrel. )''〕 It quite closely resembles a ''Tupaia'' treeshrew in appearance, but the shrew-faced squirrel can be recognized by its shorter gape, and shorter and more bushy tail.〔 ==References==
