Recording data characteristics of Palm Squirrel one of the unique species in Iran (Sistan-Balouchestan province) were conducted in three cities of Chabahar, Nikshahr and Sarbaz from Feb. 2008 to Feb. 2009. For this reseaon, 6 sampling stations (2 in each city) were selected. For recording bioassay data of Palm Squirrel trapping were used. Forty Palm Squirrel were trapped, 23 male and 7 female with the sex ratio of 1:1.3. There were no significant differences in measured features between males and females. The heaviest Palm Squirrel was recorded as 123.5g. and the lightest was 50g. Moreover; the longest and the shortest animal were 292 and 127cm, respectively. Two features, head-body length and ear size showed significant difference among animals caught from three cities. Regression analysis among features showed correlation between head-body length and leg length. On the other hand, ear size and leg length had significant correlation.
