Under a log. This is my new favorite thing. They apparently eat slugs and use their little sharp tail as a built-in fork to hold the slug in place.

It was a great surprise to have this photo posted as an observation of the day. The squirrel was in the woods near the parking lot of the Sigiriya rock and palace complex. It was thus probably habituated to company and more curious than others. The Toque Macaques, for example, were very cheeky at this place. I had caught a glimpse--but could take no photo--of the giant squirrel in Kerala, so I was excited to have this encounter and to take a dozen or more photos at pretty close range.
