A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Callosciurus erythraeus
Pallas's squirrel includes over 20 subspecies with various coloring. The color of the belly is highly variable and may show no red at all.
Found in forests from eastern India and Bhutan, through Indochina, to the Thai-Malay Peninsula and southern and eastern China (including Taiwan). I took the picture of this guy while it was fighting or playing or mating with another one above the tree in school's garden.
It is considered an invasive species because it can cause damage to trees and outcompete native wildlife such as the Red Squirrel.
