GIANT SQUIRRELS DESCRIPTION : Indian Giant squirrels are among the largest squirrels in the world. These arboreal creatures prefer habitats with contiguous forest patches, tall trees, and canopy connectivity, which protect them from predators and provide an ample supply of food. In fact, they rarely descend from the forest canopy. Despite their high perch they serve as prey for raptors and sometimes even large carnivores such as leopards and clouded leopards and primates such as lion-tailed macaques. Scientists don't know why these mostly solitary giant squirrels evolved to be larger than their squirrel cousins. They primarily feed on fruits, flowers, seeds, leaves, bark, and occasionally insects and bird eggs too. Destruction and fragmentation of their forest habitats, along with hunting, are major threats to the survival of giant squirrels. As a part, Indian gian squirrels are a wonderful being, a mind that characterising this world for connection.
