4 Commentswhat is the scientific name of common african squirrel
I am interested in the squirrals around Cape Town area. I live in Durbanville and sometimes see a squirral in my garden. I have a large property with 2 oaktrees and many other with fruit. How can I make a nest or provide something for them to nest in my garden. With building activity there must be very limited natural habitat left for the squirrals to survive. I provide ample growth for birds an lizzards, frogs etc to live on my property. I recently cut down a large old apple tree, tha stumps are hollow. Can I place some in the oktrees to allow squirrals to nest? Can someone provise some assistance please. Regards, Ben van Niekerk
tell me more info
Enjoyed this Duncan. I am a faculty member at the University of Arizona attempting to find photos of some of the African squirrels for contribution to a new book, Squirrels of the World, from a non-profit university press. I wondered if you or readers might have a few of the species from Africa that are still needed. The list is: Epixerus ebii Western Palm Squirrel Funisciurus anerythrus Thomas's Rope Squirrel Funisciurus bayonii Lunda Rope Squirrel Funisciurus carruthersi Carruther's Mountain Squirrel Funisciurus isabella Lady Burton's Rope Squirrel Funisciurus lemniscatus Ribboned Rope Squirrel Funisciurus leucogenys Red-cheeked Rope Squirrel Funisciurus substriatus Kintampo Rope Squirrel Heliosciurus mutabilis Mutable Sun Squirrel Heliosciurus punctatus Small Sun Squirrel Myosciurus pumilio African Pygmy Squirrel Paraxerus alexandri Alexander's Bush Squirrel Paraxerus boehmi Boehm's Bush Squirrel Paraxerus flavovittis Striped Bush Squirrel Paraxerus palliatus Red Bush Squirrel Paraxerus vincenti Vincent's Bush Squirrel Protoxerus aubinnii Slender-tailed Squirrel We don't have funds to pay for photos for this non-profit venture nor can we give a book to all 300 photographers but each photographer will receive credit on the photo, a digital copy of the species for which their photo appears, the author's 25% discount to purchase, and my sincere gratitude. Please contact me at my university email address: squirrelATagDOTarizonaDOTedu Many thanks. John Koprowski
