Here’s what Dave says, and I quote:
“They call it the Chica or Chiza in Costa Rica, which I assume is imitative of the call. It’s a “variegated” squirrel, related to our gray squirrel, and feeding on a mangrove fruit – near the beach (of course) in Samara, CR. and in a spot where crocodiles like to sit below in the water(!)”
There you have it. The Chica or Chiza of Costa Rica. Food for CROCS! Gulp…

Wow. Ask where he is from as well. My husband found one that was black with a white tail. I thought it was a skunk at first. Amazing how different they are even within an area.
