A cute rodent- Indian Palm Squirrel
The Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum) or three-striped palm squirrel is an adorable species of rodent from India, seen south of the Vindhyas, and Sri Lanka.
According to Indian mythology, a squirrel also helped Lord Rama in the task of building a bridge by moving tiny pebbles to the construction area. When Rama thanked the squirrel by patting its back, his fingers left three stripes.
I should mention about two more Indian squirrels here. In northern India another variety, the 5-striped palm squirrel, is seen.
Malabar giant squirrel or Indian giant squirrel is a large multi-coloured tree squirrel species endemic to forests and woodlands in India. They show lovely colour patterns on their fur coat.
