Funambulus Obscurus
The dusky striped squirrel (''Funambulus obscurus'') is a species of small squirrel from Sri Lanka that is largely confined to rainforests in the southwestern "wet zone" with higher rainfall than the rest of the island. It was formerly regarded as a subspecies of ''Funambulus sublineatus'' from India, at which point the English name of the "combined species" also was dusky striped squirrel. It is known as පුංචි ලේනා (''punchi lena'') or "batu lena" in the Sinhala language.

Funambulus Sublineatus
The Nilgiri striped squirrel (''Funambulus sublineatus'') is a threatened species of rodent, a small squirrel (Sciuridae) from rainforests in the southern Western Ghats, including the Nilgiris The Nilgiri Mountains form part of the Western Ghats in northwestern Tamil Nadu, Southern Karnataka, and eastern Kerala in India. They are located at the trijunction of three states and connect the Western Ghats with the Eastern Ghats. At le ..., in Peninsular India. It formerly included '' Funambulus obscurus'' from Sri Lanka as a subspecies, at which point the English name of the "combined species" also was dusky striped squirrel (a name now restricted to the Sri Lankan species). Taxonomy ''Funambulus sublineatus'' was scientifically described in 1838. Later it was merged with the Sri Lankan ''obscurus'', then regarded as a subspecies of ''Funambulus sublineatus''. In 2012, a review found that the two were highly distinct and recommended that they should be recognized as sep ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Funambulus Pennantii
The northern palm squirrel (''Funambulus pennantii'') also called the five-striped palm squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. Some authorities recognize two subspecies, ''F. p. pennantii'' and ''F. p. argentescens''. It is a semi-arboreal species found in tropical and subtropical dry deciduous forests and many other rural and urban habitats. It is a common species with a wide range and the International Union for Conservation of Nature has rated its conservation status as being of "least concern". Distribution It is found in the Andaman Islands, Nicobar Islands (where it was introduced), India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Iran. In India, it is fairly common in urban areas, even in large cities such as Delhi and Kolkata. Two subspecies, ''Funambulus pennantii argentescens'' and ''Funambulus pennantii lutescens'', were suggested by Wroughton in addition to the nominate race; however, more recent workers do not make this distinction.

Funambulus Tristriatus
The jungle palm squirrel, jungle striped squirrel, or Western Ghats squirrel (''Funambulus tristriatus'') is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae endemic to India.

Hundreds of definitions of forest are used throughout the world, incorporating factors such as tree density, tree height, land use, legal standing, and ecological function. The United Nations' ...s, but it is tolerant to habitat changes and is also common in tea plantations in the Western Ghats. It is confined to forests with tall trees along the west coast of the Indian Peninsula. This confinement has led the jungle palm squirrel to be considered a pest on cacao, mangos, grapes, and sapota, plants that commonly grow in the type of forest. The ratio between males and females is not split evenly; males have been reported to have a larger population share. Potential factors for the uneven sex ratio ...

Layard's Palm Squirrel
Layard's palm squirrel or flame-striped jungle squirrel (''Funambulus layardi'') is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae endemic to Sri Lanka. The validity of the subspecies ''F. l. dravidianus'' based on a single specimen from the southern tip of India has been questioned, and is probably a juvenile '' F. sublineatus''. Known as මූකලන් ලේනා (''mukalan lena'') in Sinhala. Distribution It is endemic to the central highlands of Sri Lanka. Few observations are known out of central hills, such as from Trincomalee and Matara districts, but it remains unresolved. It can be seen in Knuckles mountain range and other high altitude ranges in western basin of the central hills. Description Its head and body length is 12–17 cm, with a 14-cm tail. In color, it is blackish brown with three stripes on its dorsum; the central stripe is broadest and longest with an orange hue in ''F. signatus'', yellow in ''F. layardi''.

Rodent Genera
Rodents (from Latin , 'to gnaw') are mammals of the order Rodentia (), which are characterized by a single pair of continuously growing incisors in each of the upper and lower jaws. About 40% of all mammal species are rodents. They are native to all major land masses except for New Zealand, Antarctica, and several oceanic islands, though they have subsequently been introduced to most of these land masses by human activity. Rodents are extremely diverse in their ecology and lifestyles and can be found in almost every terrestrial habitat, including human-made environments. Species can be arboreal, fossorial (burrowing), saltatorial/richochetal (leaping on their hind legs), or semiaquatic. However, all rodents share several morphological features, including having only a single upper and lower pair of ever-growing incisors. Well-known rodents include mice, rats, squirrels, prairie dogs, porcupines, beavers, guinea pigs, and hamsters. Rabbits, hares, and pikas, whose incisors ...
