Yuko... Please read to know why we love this threatened beauty... http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/19378/0 In Northern parts of Western Ghats they find more Orange shade than Maroon. In Kerala and Karnataka states they find such darker shade. Southern part sees bigger Squirrels and in Northern parts like in Gujarat and Maharashtra seen comparatively smaller in size.

The darker-colored fur makes him look like he has a bang. :) Incredible series! How big is he?
