With so many different species of animals throughout the world, it’s impossible to be an expert on all of them. But thankfully, the internet has given us a wonderful way to learn about things we may never lay our own eyes on.
An amateur photographer had no idea that when he shared his photos from a trip to India, he’d be teaching people about an animal. Many have never heard of Malabar giant multicolored squirrels, but now plenty are obsessed with the exotic creature.
Kaushik Vijayan was visiting an Indian forest when he first spotted the majestic animals. Their unusual colors are what makes them so fascinating to look at. The squirrels are black, brown, red, orange, maroon, and purple. He captured some pictures of the pretty critters, which he had also never heard of. He shared the photos to Instagram, where they started going viral.
“The squirrels fascinated me and I got excited to capture this beauty on my camera,” he told SWNS.
