Japanese squirrel
Japanese squirrels (Sciurus lis) are reddish grey and have tufted ears and bushy tails. In the Japanese language they are called 'risu', which is written with the Kanji characters for a chestnut and a rat. The Japanese squirrel is distributed on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu in Japan. Recently, populations on south-western Honshu and Shikoku decreased and those on Kyushu disappeared. One of the factors affecting to local extinction of this species seems to be forest fragmentation by human activities (source).
