    very interesting creature Bhai - what was your shutter speed as the head seems slightly soft due to motion?

    Like his colouring and he has mean claws. BIG ears make him look like a koala bear relative. They sure are bigger in India, Harshad! What is his length, just to get him into perspective?
    Thanks for sharing.

    These are strange looking squirrels, mostly because of the purple. When one of these was posted last year I found a link to some nice video as I caanot find that thread here is the link again

    Very interesting animal -- it looks like a combination of a squirrel, koala, and lemur, and that color is fascinating. Don't really mind the cropped tail and like how all the branches frame his face. RP looks better in the sharpness department. Thanks for sharing Harshad.

    Harshad,

    The repost is much nicer. Wow, look at the claws on that thing. You would need a good pair of gloves to try and handle one of those.

    God bless,

    Hello Harshad,

    Wow! What an amazing squirre!!! I like the similarity with koala and lemur mentionned in the comments. The repost is better and sharper. I don't care about the cut tail because our eyes go directly towards its own. Nice position of the Squirrel and interesting eye contact while he is feeding. Good job my friend and thanks for sharing!
