Anomaluridae
Seven species in 3 genera make up this strange family. Anomalurids are restricted to the forests of central Africa. They are small to moderately large rodents that look very much like squirrels. Resemblances include squirrel-like proportions of the head and body, and a long, furry tail (but differing from squirrels in usually being tufted, and never as bushy as in many sciurids). Even more remarkable, all but one species have gliding membranes very much like those of flying squirrels. [eng]

Anomaluridae: Scaly-tailed Squirrels
Scaly-tailed squirrels den in hollow trees up to 40 meters above the ground or sometimes spend the day clinging to the trunk of a tree. They often associate in pairs and occasionally in groups; two species of Idiurus were observed sheltering in large numbers in the same hollow tree. [eng]
