Northern Palm Squirrel
Funambulus pennantii

Field Notes
Description:
Find them nibbling on the grass seedpods. Casually left to grow in pots, these grasses seem to entertain and also feed some of our backyard visitors!<br>So 'Let the grass grow' !!!!
<br>
While this spotting highlights their behaviour during the day, my earlier PN spotting was during the winter - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/16397374
Habitat:
They are very adaptable, diurnal and semi-arboreal species.They are usually found in tropical and subtropical dry deciduous forest, grasslands, scrub lands, plantations, arable land, rural gardens and urban areas.
Notes:
Been trying to catch them in the act. More to come and will be updating this spotting as and when possible. I don't seem to get enough of these truly adorable little ones :)
