Finlayson's Squirrel (Callosciurus finlaysonii, misspelled C. finlaysoni) or the Variable Squirrel is found in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. The subspecies C. f. floweri, which is adapted to urban parks and gardens around Bangkok has been introduced in the Serangoon area of Singapore. Its color is extremely variable; over 15 subspecies are recognised, including C. f. ferrugineus which has been treated as a separate species.[២] The subspecific name of C. f. boonsongi commemorates Thai zoologist and conservationist Dr. Boonsong Lekagul.
