Sciurus ingrami

Sciurus ingrami, commonly known as Ingram's squirrel or "serelepe" in southeastern Brazil, is a species found in South America. It inhabits the Atlantic Forest Biome of Brazil and Misiones Province, Argentina. Taxonomic classification regarding its status as a species or subspecies of other squirrels like Sciurus aestuans or Sciurus brasiliensis remains debated.

Ingram's squirrel exhibits solitary and territorial behavior but has been observed collaborating with others to mob predators such as margays. Its diet primarily consists of nuts from Syagrus romanzoffiana, particularly in moist highland forests. Observations in a secondary Araucaria angustifolia forest revealed that the squirrel feeds on various plant species, including seeds of Araucaria angustifolia during fall and winter, acorns of Quercus robur in summer, mushrooms in winter and spring, and other minor food items like Pinus taeda seeds, Castanea sativa nuts, Butia eriospatha nuts, Eriobotrya japonica pips, Eugenia uniflora, Rhamnus sphaerosperma, flowers, and tree bark.
