Ratufa indica
The Malabar giant squirrel is an upper-canopy dwelling species, which rarely leaves the trees, and requires tall profusely branched trees for the construction of nests.It travels from tree to tree with jumps of up to 6 m (20 ft). When in danger, it often freezes or flattens itself against the tree trunk, instead of fleeing.
