      型態:全身體色成灰褐色,腹部則接近赤紅色,故名為赤腹松鼠。軀幹與四肢毛皮為短毛,尾部則為蓬鬆長毛,主要功能為平衡之用,因此台語又稱作「蓬鼠」。

      生態:赤腹松鼠是台灣三種松鼠裡適應力最強、最常見的松鼠,從平地到海拔三千公尺高山都有其蹤跡。日行性,除交配哺育期之外喜單獨行動,樹棲性,會在樹上以細枝樹葉築巢而居。主要以植物的花、果、葉為食,偶會吃食小型昆蟲。過去因為原始森林大量遭受破壞,改為人工造林,導致赤腹松鼠的食源消失,轉而啃食樹皮為生,因而被冠以森林有害動物之名。

      形質:體長約20公分,體重約501公克。

      標本資訊:本標本吻肛長27公分,尾長18公分,乾燥保存。
