Rainbow Squirrels

 So, I want to start by apologizing for disappearing. I've got a really bad cold right now and actually had to go to the doctor for prescription cough syrup. It tastes like artificial cherry soap, and I really hope I don't have to take it long. 


But, on to more interesting things. Rainbow Squirrels. 

Ok, it's actually the Malabar Giant Squirrel, the largest squirrel in the world, but it's also known as a Rainbow Squirrel because it's pretty colorful.

Normally I'd talk about them a lot more, but not today. Sorry. They're giant, they're colorful, and they live in India. If you want to know more, go to the sources below to learn more if you're interested. I would suggest at least looking at the pictures of them, because they're beautiful.
