Wild Squirrels in Philippines

Tweet

There is this one time when we were walking in the street when we suddenly saw a creature that appears to be a squirrel. It crossed the street from one tree to another through an electric wire. At first we thought it could be just a rat but I believe we can immediately recognize it if it really is a rat. We haven't seen a live squirrel before and not really expecting to see one in Philippines because we only see them mostly in foreign movies. But because of its distinctive tail, we can't really think of any other animal it could be. Only after searching the net that I have confirmed that are also squirrels here known as the Philippine tree squirrels. It looks as the image I have posted with this. Do you already know that we have squirrels here in Philippines and have you seen one in your area before? By the way, we saw it in the City of Taguig.
