Sri Lanka's National Animal - Grizzled Giant Squirrel
This one was in a tree near the "Lion Rock" at Sigiriya. It moved up and down the tree and after we discovered it and took a few photos, it quickly attracted a horde of tourists - seeing their national animal.
The grizzled giant squirrel is a large tree squirrel in the genus "Ratufa" found in the highlands of the Central and Uva provinces of Sri Lanka, and in patches of riparian forest along the Kaveri River and in the hill forests in the Tamil Nadu and Kerala states of southern India.
