Plaintain Squirrel (Callosciurus notatus) - 20240318-07

            The plantain squirrel is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae found in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand in a wide range of habitats: forests, mangroves, parks, gardens, and agricultural areas. Fruit farmers consider them to be pests. 

It is very quick and agile in trees, able to jump a few metres between trees, and rarely wanders on the ground.  Its diet consists mostly of leaves and fruits, but it also eats insects and bird eggs. It is known to break open twigs that contain ant larvae to eat them. It can eat fruits much bigger than itself, such as mangoes, jackfruit, or coconuts.   (Wikipedia)

We saw this very cute species of squirrel in most places that we visited in Singapore.  This one was checking us out as we watched the varied wildlife along the boardwalk.
