I follow a lot of rat blogs because i love them and they all have "rodent" in the name, and then I see your blog and get confused by the lack of rats even though I've been following you for years for all the other stuff XD

I'm happy to be a source of confusion for you lol!

I mean, I unironically do love rodents though, so maybe some more genuine squirrelposting (that's not just me calling myself squirrel and ranting about my video game du jour) is in order? :)

What are these creatures? They are Indian giant squirrels (Ratufa indica), which make other squirrels seem small and drab by comparison. Not only do they look as if they fell into cans of paint, their tails can be two feet long.

This was a design I did back in 2023 for Squirrelflight. I based her design after the Indian Giant Squirrel / Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica)

I thought it would be fun to do, and it was! I do remember having a just HORRIBLE time trying to get the colors right.

a question about apod

what were some of the scrapped ideas for her character or design

Scrapped APod stuff I see?

Well here ya go: Firstly, when designing her I didn't really know what object to make sure so I chose an object that's literally only use is to make sound, an 7th Generation !Pod to be exact. She also I knew had to add some squirrel traits to her so I've made her a Cream Colored Giant Squirrel (Ratufa affinis to be exact) as I had to at least make the species of squirrel she is similar to where Acorn4 was also based from (Indian Giant Squirrel if you didn't know)

-

And another thing that I didn't go with was APod's really life path, like would she fall under more of Acorn4's ways of respecting nature and finding peace in all or to the somewhat contrasting CEO GKGG MP4 is, but hell it's not entirely scrapped as that could be stood as a 'what if' is little pal (ig I shouldn't stay little as became kinda a little mini ver of the CEO that he was in the past maybe? Idk there-)

APod being a ig 'villain'/'evil' would be kinda interesting tho actually now that I think of it/hj

If I may delight you further with more unusual squirrels?

The tufted ground squirrel or groove-toothed squirrel (Rheithrosciurus macrotis) native only to the island of Borneo. They have the largest tail-to-body ratio of any mammal- their tail is 130% of it own body. Local legends call them "Vampire Squirrels" and say that they wait in trees for deer to pass beneath and then fall upon them and drink their blood (They actually eat nuts).

The Indian giant squirrel or Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica), native to India. Looks like it was drawn by your favorite sparkle artist with rave-ready colors of gold, magenta, and blue-black/purple.

You may think you've seen some cute flying squirrels before... but have you seen the Red and White Giant Flying Squirrel (Petaurista alborufus)?

This... this is a pokemon you guys...

Supposedly a real animal that lives in China.

best thing about tumblr is seeing pictures of Weird Creatures I’d never heard of before

Sciurus - Wikipedia

Identification. In this chapter, tree squirrels are divided into 3 groups: large tree squirrels, including the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) and fox squirrel (Sciurus niger); small tree squirrels, including the red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus); and.

Squirrels are known to run up trees in circles for a few reasons. One of the main reasons is to confuse potential predators. By running in circles, they make it difficult for a predator to track their movements and anticipate their next move

The black giant squirrel or Malayan giant squirrel (Ratufa bicolor) is a large tree squirrel in the genus Ratufa native to the Indomalayan zootope.

The world’s largest squirrel is the Indian or Malabar giant squirrel (Ratufa indica), endemic to deciduous and moist evergreen forests in peninsular India. It can grow to 1 m in total length, two thirds of which constitute its long bushy tail
