red_fronted_squirrel_2bIt seems that with squirrels and cows, no matter where I go in the world there’s a unique local variety. They’re just squirrels and they’re just cows but because they don’t look like our squirrels and cows, they can seem pretty exotic. This is the red fronted squirrel, native to Sumatra, Indonesia. Unlike most squirrels, they’re not very common. This was the only one I saw, deep in the forest of Tangkahan. Not the greatest shot, but the squirrel was there one second and gone the next.
