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.

If more awareness and protection are brought about for this species, then they can thrive in the future."They're part of a group of squirrels that is pretty ancient," Koprowski said."They're a unique evolutionary group that's been here a long time, which is a good thing."
