The zoo in Inokashira Park is known for its squirrel garden, and the animal is also its mascot.

It specialises in species native to Japan, including birds, raccoons, monkeys as well as indigenous squirrels.

The Japanese squirrel is a threatened species, and has completely disappeared on the island of Kyūshū.

The decrease in population has mainly been caused by deforestation, carried out by humans.
