It’s entertaining to watch a squirrel jump from one limb to the next, eat fruits with its small hands, move its tail, and reach the top of the tree in a second. And it is even prettier because of the brilliant colours on its bushy tail and face.

The huge brown squirrel is seen attacking a tree branch in a video released by Indian Administrative Service (IAS) official Supriya Sahu. Later, it reaches for the nearby tree, jumps forward, and climbs up, only to switch sides and continue climbing.
