Did You Know There Are Rainbow Colored Squirrels In India?

The Indian Giant Squirrel - also called the Malabar Giant Squirrel - is an adorable creature which has been hiding in the depths of India for far too long. But thanks to some savvy photographers, we can now see the amazing sight of these brown, dark red, white, purple, yellow and orange animals. They usually hang out by themselves and are often seen early in the morning and evening.When they're stressed - often from predators - they freeze and lie on a tree trunk, hoping they won't be noticed. So next time you're in the tropical forests of India, bring some binoculars! These squirrels are not easy to spot. Via: Postize
