Playful Squirrels in Nature

I remember taking more than one photo of squarelles today I am sharing few with Ragtag Daily Prompt: Critters

A playful red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), also known as the Eurasian red squirrel perched on a wooden branch, gripping a piece of rope.

A curious the Indian palm squirrel (Funambulus palmarum), which is native to India and Sri Lanka munching on a snack, showcasing its agile movements and fluffy tail.

The picture shows a Indian giant squirrel (or black giant squirrel), which is one of the largest squirrel species in the world.

I’ve never seen an Indian giant squirrel or black squirrel before. Nice education this morning!

Fabulous! I love the squirrel with the rope. Sadly, we have few red squirrels any more. They’ve been wiped out by dominant greys.

I love squirrels – we have quite a few in the woods behind our home. So, burning question, do you name them? All of ours have names. [Stop laughing at me!] Lovely post, Ritva! pp
