https://positiveoutlooksblog.com/these-giant-and-multi-colored-squirrels-are-so-beautiful-its-hard-to-believe-they-are-real/Biologists believe that most of the worlds wildlife remain undiscovered. In fact, in the year 2010, biologists said that there are still over 5 million plants and animals species waiting to be named and discovered. With this staggering number, it is undeniable that there are still a lot of wonders in the world that we have to see, discover, and experience!
With this in mind, it is very understandable why John Koprowski, a squirrel expert, was surprised to know that there are such things as a giant squirrel. Though he considers himself as a squirrel expert, he still found it hard to believe that the giant squirrel in front of his eyes, which is called as the Malabar giant squirrel, is indeed a squirrel.

But I'd have a very hard time pulling the trigger on one of those. I think I'd just use my camera instead. Very pretty.
