Meet The Malabar Giant Squirrel, The World Largest Squirrel With So Much Color You Won't Believe Your Eyes At First

When most people think of squirrels, they probably imagine a little rodent that is notorious for stealing birdfeeder seeds instead of an exotic animal. Anyone who loves birds understands how unpleasant squirrels can be.

They frequently wander about your yard, helping themselves to whatever they come upon. The majority of birders find something about their general presence annoying.

Although they are adorable, we still can't negate the fact that they can be annoying. So yes, squirrels do receive a bad representation as they steal from bird feeders.

Almost everything may be chewed through by them, and they even dart in front of moving vehicles. But this sometimes-referred-to "nuisance" mammal has a lot to offer while occasionally being bothersome for people.

They all have a similar appearance and are frequently seen by North Americans, despite having different colors, such as grey, black, or American red. Squirrel sightings in the deep Indian forest, however, present a drastically different aspect, maybe even seeming surreal.

The Malabar squirrel, also known as the Indian giant squirrel, is the biggest squirrel in the world and is found in the woods of India. These endearing critters make a distinctive and uncommon sight with their rainbow coats.

In fact, due to their elusiveness, Malabar squirrel expert John Koprowski initially thought he had discovered a new species of monkey when he came across one in 2006.
