The Cambodian striped squirrel (Tamiops rodolphii) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is found in eastern Thailand, Cambodia, southern Laos, and southern Vietnam. Males and females look almost the same. They have the same body size, fur color, and stripe patterns. Therefore, one cannot easily tell between males and females just by looking at them. This also means that there is no sexual dimorphism. Additionally, compared to other squirrel species, the Cambodian squirrel does not significantly change colors during different seasons. This means the Cambodian striped squirrel will have short light brown fur throughout the seasons with black and light stripes covering their back and heads.
The Cambodian Striped Squirrel inhabits tropical forests, shrublands, and rural gardens. They are usually found in the understory and lower canopy of the forests. While their elevation range has not been reported, its closely related species, Tamiops macclellandi, has been found 1,500 meters above sea level.

Likely
About 60% of wildlife watchers report a Cambodian Striped Squirrel sighting in Cần Thơ on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 90%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February, April and October
In those months about 70% of wildlife watchers report a Cambodian Striped Squirrel in Cần Thơ on a given day, against about 20% in March and May, the lowest months. June–September and November have too few records to rate.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cambodian Striped Squirrel is recorded against all the mammals logged in Cần Thơ (6 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
