Zanzibar: Jozani Forest NP – Zanj Sun Squirrel
Here’s another rather rare mammal we spotted at the Jozani Forest – the endemic Zanj Sun Squirrel. It looks somewhat like a normal squirrel, but is absolutely grey and the coat is thin, more adapted to super hot coastal climates of the tropics and Zanzibar. While it is not considered threatened, its habitat is very limited to coastal forests of Zanzibar and some more places along the East Africa coastline. They are not very well studied and not much is known about them. But we got lucky to spot 4 of them!
