Japanese squirrel

 Sciurus lis (Sciurus lis) is a tree squirrel of the genus Sciurus endemic to Japan. Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck described it in 1844. The range of the Japanese squirrel includes the islands of Honshū, Shikoku, and Kyūshū. Recently, populations in southwestern Honshū and Shikoku have declined, and those in Kyūshū have disappeared. One of the factors affecting the regional extinction of this species appears to be human deforestation.
