Appearance
The "typical" subspecies of Prevost's squirrel are among the most colourful mammals in the world with their black upperparts and tail, reddish-orange underparts, and whitish thighs and flanks. The markings in some subspecies are duller, and ''C. prevostii pluto'' from northeastern Borneo is reddish-orange below and black above.
Food
They eat fruits, nuts, seeds, buds, flowers, insects and bird eggs. It has been observed feeding on durians such as ''Durio graveolens''. These squirrels carry the fruits far from the tree and drop the seeds when finished with their meal. This seed distribution away from the parent plant increases survival for the fruiting plant species.References:
