I have not seen a squirrel do this before, but my best guess is that it's a defensive behaviour to make it harder to spot.

Nilgai (meaning blue cow) the name was first recorded in the late 1800s. They are not hunted by the big cats, and mostly back then hunted as game. So when their population was dwindling, the king decided to rename the animal as nilgai (supposedly) - the addition of Gai was expected to reduce their hunting. The plan definitely worked, and they have been pretty much not in any danger of extinction.
Fast forward to recent times, they are in large numbers, and some politicians have suggested to rename them again to remove Gai from the name, so they can be hunted and culled without any stigma and taboo - as they are becoming a "menace" to the farmers.
(the more we try to take over nature, forest and wild animal habitats, it's obvious the nature would try and reclaim it back)

Mum was waiting patiently for breakfast this morning. Then a couple of boys turned up as well.

Mum enjoying some breakfast. I put some pellets out last night and it’s been raining but she’s eating them. For ages she didn’t like them if they were softened by the rain but maybe her palate is broadening.

A Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 15 Dec 2024. It was sandbathing on the path, then moved behind the shelter in the background for some privacy. There, I managed to make eye contact with it.

Mum has a new suitor. He was quite nervous and took off when I walked toward him. Which is probably a good strategy considering that his competition have probably been eaten by the dingoes.

¿Cómo se desplazaría una croqueta cuando no está rodando? Pues más o menos como un topo que, al no poder apoyar sus patas delanteras, tiene que dar saltitos. #mamiferos #mammals #aww
Mum was waiting for her breakfast and is now sheltering from the rain in the garden.
