Also known as the Malayan giant squirrel, these guys are among the largest squirrels in the world. Unlike many other squirrel species around the world that readily enter areas of human population, they prefer to stay hidden deep in the forest. I saw a few of them while camping in Kaeng Krachan National Park on the Malay Peninsula of Thailand. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/400th of a second.
