Those lucky few (!) who have traveled with me in areas that posses squirrels will already know that I am very fond of then, even when they are abundant. So it will be know surprise to find out that I really enjoyed watching them, and was even distracted by them when other, somewhat rarer wildlife was about!
The Five-Striped Palm Squirrel are typically 225 to 400mm long (including their tail) and weigh between 60 and 200g. They are excellent climbers and in a should be described as deeply good value!
Strangely, I have just discovered that there are some feral populations of this species in Australia, and are considered a pest here as a result.
Hope all is well, and may your week be filled with squirrels!
