Identification. The squirrel Guerlinguetus brasiliensis may be included among the native species. Although small in size, it is easily identifiable through photographs. The species is an average sized squirrel with occurrences recorded in the Atlantic Rainforest. It is distinguished from other squirrels due to its intermediate body size and such characteristics as voluminous tail, longer than or equal to the body.
