Field Notes

Description:

Reddish brown squirrel like creature with a long thin snout. Arboreal, diurnal.

Habitat:

Adjacent to a small stream. Altitude 1000m.

Notes:

Extremely difficult to approach. Once they see you, they make a warning sound, ‘Chak-chak-chak’ and the whole group head for the tree tops with incredible speed and dexterity. Once you here the call, forget it, move on.
