Indochinese Ground Squirrel

Menetes berdmorei

Berdmore's ground squirrel, Indochinese ground squirrel, or Berdmore's squirrel (Menetes berdmorei) is a ground squirrel found in Southeast Asia, from the east of Myanmar and Yunnan (southern China) to Vietnam and Cambodia.

The squirrel has a grey-brown back and a white belly. Most striking are stripes on the side - on each side one beige and below a black stripe. The head is pointy, so this squirrel resembles a mouse or a treeshrew. Its length is 20 cm (7.9 in), not including the 15 cm (5.9 in) long tail.
