At Po?s we saw both Red-tailed and Montane/Po?s Squirrels - the two are surprisingly awkward to tell apart! The only reliable way is to get an exact side view to see if the ears stick up or not! In profile silhouette, this species shows no ear flaps, while Red-tailed Squirrels, whose ears are higher, do.
