Giant Multicolored Squirrel

Fascinating! Why have I never heard of these beautiful creatures before???

These beauties are from Malabar India.

Nice thread, thank you.

Looking around the web, other photos show more subdued coloration, although still quite striking.

Here are some at the Snopes site (yeah, I know, Snopes ... )

Erm... I will see myself out...

They are better left in the wild though 😉

I agree, except when they fall from a tree with barely any hair...eyes only slightly open...

I didn't have a choice

I just asked my online friend from India, why he never told us about such animals. LOL
I had posted something on my facebook page and he said he sees them all the time where he is.

I've seen many cases of squirrels who couldn't go back into the wild for one reason or another.
Tell us about your squirrel. Is it still a baby? Got any pics?

It actually looks better to me when the colors aren't brightened.
