Pallas's squirre

Callosciurus erythraeus

Description:

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.

Habitat:

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.

Notes:

It is considered an invasive species because it can cause damage to trees and outcompete native wildlife such as the Red Squirrel.
