Sciurus ingrami Thomas, 1901 |
Sciurus ingrami, commonly known as Ingram's squirrel, Atlantic Forest squirrel, and serelepe, is a squirrel found in South America. It is found in the Atlantic Forest Biome of Brazil.
It is regarded variously as a species, or as a subspecies of the Brazilian squirrel.
It is solitary and territorial, but has been seen to act together and mob a predatory cat, the margay.
