Giant Black Squirrel
Giant black squirell in a hillside forest near Siem Reap, Cambodia. Spotted on the foot path up to Kbal Spean, a jungle waterfall temple. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kbal_Spean
At first they seemed like skunks jumping around in the trees, we didn't think they were squirrels until someone told us, though it's obvious in retrospect.

The black giant squirrel is a large tree squirrel in the genus ''Ratufa'' native to the Indomalayan zootope. It is found in forests from northern Bangladesh, northeast India, eastern Nepal, Bhutan, southern China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam and western Indonesia.
