  1. Welcome to JungleDragon! Thanks for your sharing your first photos.

    Please do try to describe your photos a little more: the name of the animal, where you captured it, etc. This makes it easier for others to find and judge your photos. Thanks!

The Indian palm squirrel also known as three-striped palm squirrel, is a species of rodent in the Sciuridae family that can be easily domesticated and kept as a pet. It is found naturally in India and Sri Lanka. In the late 19th century, the Palm squirrel was accidentally introduced into Western Australia, where it has since become a minor pest that is actively targeted for eradication due to its lack of natural predators.
