Personal Notes Have taken many specimens of this squirrel at Malepale in Bechuanaland, at Maaun in Ngamiland, at Shabowe on the Obbawings River, and now at Seronga. They are numerous in Bechuanaland wherever there are trees. This squirrel is easy to take with dogs. The natives smoke them out of hollow trees. During the day these squirrels are active; they feed on vegetation and seeds and scamper about on the ground and through the trees.
