The Giant Squirrel, also known as the Indian Giant Squirrel or Ratufa indica, is a large tree-dwelling rodent native to the forests of India and parts of Southeast Asia. It can grow up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) in length, including its bushy tail. These squirrels are known for their striking coloration, which can include shades of brown, black, and orange. Giant Squirrels primarily feed on fruits, nuts, and flowers, playing a vital role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. They are agile climbers, using their strong limbs to navigate the treetops. These social animals often communicate through vocalizations and are known to live in small groups.
