Finlayson’s squirrel is a species of rodent that is found only in Thailand, Cambodia, Burma, Laos and Vietnam.

The squirrel has 16 subspecies that vary wildly in colour but are all part of the same species – as you can see the ones found on Koh Chang are a deep orangey black in colour.

They are arboreal (tree-dwelling) animals and feed primarily on fruit and nuts.
