I find this squirrel to be very fascinating. This squirrel has an unusual white fur apart from the fact that this species of squirrel can only be found in a small island in the Philippines. It is also fascinating because there are only a few squirrels found on the archipelago yet there is no research being done about this new animal. The squirrel has currently little documentations and another fascinating fact about is that it still have not been given any scientific name to date. It's also intriguing that despite all of this, the squirrel is already poached by many local hunters. It saddens me to know such beautiful animal being extirpated even before it has been given a scientific name.
