People are nuts about this squirrel! It is the Malabar giant squirrel.
Most squirrels are gray, red, or black. But this squirrel has very colorful fur. It is tan, black, red, and purple!
That’s not the only way it stands out. It is BIG. It can be 3 feet long from head to tail. That is about the size of a cat.
The squirrel lives in treetops. It makes nests of leaves and twigs.
It eats fruit, flowers, and bark. What else does it eat? It eats nuts, of course!
