Smith in 1836 while exploring Africa. The two common names are Smith's Bush Squirrel or Yellow-footed Squirrel. It's found in S Angola, Zambia, SE Zaire, Malawi, SW Tanzania, Mozambique, N Namibia, N Botswana, Zimbabwe, Transvaal (South Africa). I do not know if it's endangered or not. The Squirrels original scientific name was Sciurus cepapi but was changed sometime ago to Paraxerus cepapi. Hope this helps! Happy New Year!
