Common Tree Shrew

Looks like a squirrel with it long bushy tail, but the face and long nose resemble a rat.

Hi Tabib,
It does not look like a squirrel to me ;-) but it is a beautiful animal. Thanks to make me discover it, i did not know it. Beautiful picture!

The ears are quite different from a squirrel too!

That is an interesting animal. Isn't all nature wonderful? So it does not matter that there is no bird today Tabib.
