Asian Giant Pied Squirrel Draped over a Branch

About this photo:

This interesting animal is about twice the size of a Gray Squirrel, with a much longer tail. Apparently, it uses the long tail as a counter-balance, allowing it to "hang around" for a long time. We snapped this photo of one feeding in a tree near where we ate our lunch.

Date: Taken March 31, 2003 on the Shemgang road.
