The Indian Palm Squirrel is about 20 cm long and weighs about 100 grams. these little squirrels only naturally occur in India and Sri Lanka. They were introduced to Australia and have become a minor nuisance since they don’t have any natural predators to keep them in check.
the Indian Palm Squirrel feeds mostly on fruits and nuts.  Although they will also supplement their diet with yummy tasting insects. Some squirrels are smart and tend to hibernate in the winter but this particular squirrel is not one of them. they won’t leave the nice warm, comfy nest until the afternoon sun is shining.
