In addition to the size, John was also astonished by the shape. There is something very unique about the coloring of Malabar’s fur.
Black, brown, orange, maroon, and purple are just some of the colors available in their fur.
As purple and maroon are not special to mammals, these squirrels are also special.
Tree bark, fruits, flowers, and nuts make up their diet. It is also possible for some subspecies to eat insects and bird eggs.
They leap from one place to another with leaps of over 20 feet, enjoying the forest canopy in the trees branches.
Although these creatures are not endangered, they should be protected to prevent extinction.
