The red-footed sun squirrel is a small rodent with bright reddish paws. It quickly runs along trees in African forests and is active during the day.
The red-legged sun squirrel differs from other squirrels by its bright reddish paws. It helps the forest by spreading plant seeds and serves as food for predators.
