Amazon dwarf squirrel (Microsciurus flaviventer)
Local area
The Amazon dwarf squirrel is found in South America. It occurs in the Amazon basin of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Brazil, west of Rios Negro and Madeira, up to 2000 m altitude (Emmons, 1997). The Neotropical biogeographical region
Place of residence
These squirrels live in lowlands and cloud forests, but seem to prefer palm forests (Nowk, 1999). The Amazon dwarf squirrel uses all levels of the forest, from the ground level to the canopy (Emmons, 1997). The main activity of this squirrel is below five meters, using vertical trunks (Youlatos, 1999).

Physical description
The total length of the Amazon dwarf squirrel is 250–273 mm (Eisenburg and Redford, 1989). The tail is usually shorter than the length of the head and body; it is thin, tapering to the tip, and dirty white in color (Nowak, 1999). The upper body of the Amazon dwarf squirrel is usually brown, well-greased, and reddish to olive in color. Abdomen with long hair, dark purple, with a bright color on the chest. Ears are short and do not protrude from the top of the head. The hair behind the ears is pale yellow with sparse hairs on the tips of the ears (Emmons, 1997).

reproduction
There is no data on the mating system of this animal. Although there is no data on the production of this species, it is reasonable to assume that young people, like many squirrels, are not healthy. M Alphari, the form is closely linked, calling at least at least the end of April to June, This may be cases of Mr. Flavory. A female M. flaviventer has two embryos (Nowak, 1999). Main characteristics of gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious iteroparous reproduction (different sexes) viviparous sex Fertilization
mating season
These squirrels can breed from April to June, as the animals are sociable.
As with all animals, the female provides parental care by providing milk to her young. Most likely, as with other squirrels, the young are born in a nest, with their eyes closed. Perhaps the mother takes care of the young in the nest until they are able to fend for themselves. Parental Investment Women's Parental Care
Longevity/longevity
No data are available on the survival of M. flaviventer. Practice
Amazon dwarf squirrels are usually diurnal. Although usually solitary, these squirrels can be seen in pairs especially during mating season (Emmons, 1997). They use a wide path to move and feed, as well as vertical support. The quadruple jump and vertical jump are also common. Fingers, or hanging on a solid surface, is the most feeding position in vertical support (Youlatos, 1999). Amazon dwarf squirrels build nests lined with paper balls (Emmons, 1997). They have a reputation for being inquisitive and can be approached from long distances before retreating (Nowk, 1999).

Eating habits
Amazon dwarf spiders feed on arthropods by actively scavenging for tree trunks, vines, and fallen trees. They also feed on the bark of trees (Emmons, 1997). They also eat palm kernels and seeds (Nowak, 1999). The primary diet of carnivores is insects
Meat
In general, small mice are often on the menu of carnivores, raptors and carnivores of all kinds. Although there are no specific reports of prey in this species, it is reasonable to assume that it is prey. Environmental Services
Mr. Flaviventer's current occupation is unknown. Economic Needs for Humans: True
The economic importance of these squirrels has not been determined.
Economic importance for humans: negative
No adverse effects of this type have been reported. security state
M. flaviventer currently has no special conservation status. However, since it is an inhabitant of the Amazon rainforest, it is not always the case.
