Bolivian squirrel        Images © Mark A. Chappell

Bolivian squirrels are small tree-dwelling squirrels from South America.   They are quite similar to North American tree squirrels, but have shorter, 'sleeker' hair (there is also a large red-colored squirrel).   These were photographed in cloud forest along the Manu Road in southeastern Peru, at an altitude of about 1500 m.
