India’s diverse wildlife continues to captivate, with a recent share by Indian Forest Service officer Parveen Kaswan making waves.
Kaswan posted a photo of a massive squirrel species found in West Bengal’s Buxa. He challenged followers to guess the species. The image showed the squirrel atop a tall tree. Comments poured in with guesses like Malabar and Malayan giant squirrels.
Some shared their own squirrel sightings. One person remembered spotting them in Tirupati and Mumbai. Another talked about seeing them in Odisha, agile on teak trees.
The identity was revealed as the Malabar giant squirrel, seen in Assam’s Hoollongapar Gibbon Sanctuary. Another user recounted a Western Ghats encounter, where a squirrel’s leaps made branches rustle. India’s wildlife treasures continue to enchant, celebrated by passionate individuals like Kaswan.
