Malayan Giant Squirrel is one of the world’s largest squirrel species that has a dark upper body, pale under parts, and a long, bushy tail. Unlike the nocturnal flying squirrels, giant squirrels are diurnal (active during the day), but arboreal (tree-dwelling) and herbivorous like the flying squirrels.
