An
Indian palm squirrel
(
Funambulus palmarum
) photographed in
Bangalore
, India. In India these squirrels are associated with the
Hindu
deity
Rama
, an
avatar
of
Vishnu
, and as such are not to be harmed. However, in
Western Australia
they are considered pests and at times targeted for eradication.
