Malabar_Squirrel This photo was taken in Ganeshgudi, Uttar Kannada District, Karnataka, INDIA. Here you will be able to see many kinds of animals and birds species. This was one particular moment where the monkeys were chasing this squirrel, I was just waiting for the perfect pose to create my image, & this came out really well. I still have few snaps of this squirrel, I will be sharing them shortly. Geotagged,India,Indian Giant Squirrel,Ratufa indica Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro
