The Indian Giant Squirrel Is Almost Too Beautiful To Be Real

When squirrel expert John Koprowski first saw a Malabar giant squirrel, also known as an Indian giant squirrel, he couldn’t believe his eyes.John was visiting India in 206 and first thought that the animal looked more like a primate than a squirrel due to its massive size.However, this giant animal was no primate – just a very, very large squirrel. They are two times the size of an eastern grey squirrel and can be 36 inches long.

According to Wikipedia, their "diet includes fruit, flowers, nuts and tree bark.Some subspecies are omnivorous, also eating insects and bird eggs."These incredible creatures also have adorable tufts of fur on their ears and strong forelimbs, making them really stand out.(Source: Wikimedia)
