Red-tailed squirrel (Sciurus granatensis)

            Red-tailed squirrel (Sciurus granatensis) is native to South and Central America, the red-tailed squirrel inhabits northern Costa Rica, southern Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and Ecuador. According to Animal Diversity Web, its distribution area extends from coasts above sea level to the tropical forests of Venezuela, at an altitude of 3,000 meters. They are solitary animals, although they can be seen in pairs when they reproduce, feed or care for their young. According to data from Animal Diversity Web, they spend proportionally all day sitting (about 64% of the time) and spend little energy on other activities, such as climbing, jumping or chasing each other. Red-tailed squirrels are skilled seed dispersers, which contributes to reforestation and the transport of plants and food to other regions of their habitat. According to the Animal Diversity Web, red-tailed squirrels disperse seeds and fruits on which they feed and contribute to the dispersion of fungal spores and flowers. This guy was enjoying the fruits of the feeder of Gema del Bosque, Costa Rica.
