He's fearless, too. A squirrel that big might be a bit offputting, but he's probably up for it.

A photographer from India has captured several incredible images of the Malabar giant squirrel that have gone viral after being posted to social media.
The squirrel, known for its multicolored fur and its large size, became an internet sensation after 39-year-old Kaushik Vijayan took the pictures deep in the forests of India, capturing the animal in its native habitat.
The amateur photographer, who works in finance in Saudi Arabia, said he was astonished by the appearance of the multi-colored squirrel, as were his friends. "It was when I shared some of the photographs on social media many of my friends and followers came to know about the Malabar Giant Squirrel and they were all amazed by its appearance," he said.

My initial reaction was that it must be a hoax, but upon reading the article, it appears that it is real.
Also picture at the link.
My dogs will be interested in this one.
You could teach your dogs to just play with the squirrels without harming them.
That could be fun to watch. Better than TV.
Kind of disappointed actually. For some reason, I was sort of expecting them to be rainbow colored or something.
Hmm... I wonder. Yellow curry, Red curry or Tandoori?
Take them to the deep forest of india :)
I used to feed squirrels, while in college here in the US. They liked walnuts.
I even have pictures of them sitting in my lap and on my shoulder happily eating the walnuts, but I am not going to post them here.
A DNA manipulated freak.
Perhaps April 1 happens on April 3 in India?! [:)]
mmmm multi-colored sauce piquant!
There goes the neighborhood.
Is that coloration real?
I was talking to one of my boys, who was in California on business last week. He had seen a small dog that appeared to have been tie-dyed.
The colors on the squirrel in the picture are so garish, I couldn’t help but wonder if they were real.
Need another source.
In the summer of 1968 we were in drydock in Long Beach. One of my shipmates was taking a bit too much LSD and went to a pet shop and bought an adult iguana. He would walk it around with a leash and one night he painted it with the psychedelic poster paint that would glow when you turned on the black light.
They look tasty.
LOL!
