The brave squirrel! These amazing squirrels are common sight in the Nilgiris but rarely on the floor. This brave squirrel roamed around the ground for several minutes forging amongst some Langurs. Despite the obvious bravado of this little guy, it stopped periodically, scanning all around itself nervously before progressing. 2015,5D mkIII,India,Indian Giant Squirrel,Jenifer Clark,John Rowell,Karnataka,Nagarhole National Park,Nagarhole Tiger Reserve,National Park,Ratufa indica,Tiger Reserve,adhocphotographer,asia,copyright Click/tap to enlarge
