*** Sciurus gordoni = Callosciurus erythraeus gordoni (Pallas’s squirrel)
Pallas's squirrel or red-bellied tree squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus) is a species of squirrel native to Greater China, India, and Southeast Asia. It is a medium-sized tree squirrel, with a head-body length of 16 to 28 cm, and a tail 11 to 26 cm in length. Both sexes are of similar size and appearance, and weigh between 310 and 460 g. The color of the pelt varies considerably between the many different subspecies, but is generally brownish on the upper body with a more reddish tint on the belly, and often with some black on the tail. Populations have been introduced in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina, Dadizele in Belgium, the Netherlands, Cap d’Antibes in France, and Japan. In these regions, it is considered an invasive species, as it can cause considerable damage to trees and may outcompete native wildlife such as the red squirrel. The GBIF records show the subspecies Callosciurus erythraeus gordoni is found in Myanmar.
