We love our adorable Squirrels! 🐿️
These animals are important to their ecosystems because they are seed dispersers: helping plants, trees, and fungi to grow and populate the habitats. Prevost's Squirrels are also known as tri-colored squirrels with their jet-black, white, and reddish-brown fur; more colorful than our native Grey Squirrels scurrying around the Zoo. They are found on the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Bangka Island, Rhio Archipelago, Sulawesi and the East Indies. They can be found in lowland forests.
