Indian Palm Squirrel on a Tree Trunk Mug
Indian Palm Squirrel on a Tree Trunk was taken during a jungle tour in India.
The Indian Palm Squirrel can be found anywhere in India. Scampering down tree trunks, nibbling on fruit, or tight-rope walking along telephone wires. But few of us have given the three-striped palm squirrel much thought.
The Indian Palm Squirrel has a long history of helping out. According to Ramayana, it earned its stripes for assisting the Monkey Army in building the bridge to Lanka. The squirrel worked tirelessly, the story goes, gathering pebbles and small stones for the bridge’s construction, never mind that its contribution was minimal. Rama was so impressed with its dedication to Sita’s rescue mission, that he caressed the little creature’s back with three fingers, leaving behind three prominent white stripes.
There might be some truth to this tale if only to illustrate how hard squirrels work. They are serious seed dispersal agents, crucial to the wellbeing of any environment. They are also fiercely protective, constantly foraging for food, and always on the lookout for twigs, leaves, and, a sign of our changing times, bits of plastic and paper, to make their nests more secure from predators like cats, bats, and crows.
Wild animals are amazing and hard to discover. The colour of the squirrel is almost the same as the colour of the tree trunk.

Creator Review
Love this mug! Zazzle does such a GREAT job - it's shiny, and pretty, and really shows off the whimsical artwork extraordinarily well. You really can't tell how awesome it's going to be until you hold it in your hands. My new favourite mug! The printing was clear, sharp, and beautiful. Really showcased the artwork in true colours. Excellent craftmanship! Couldn't be happier.

Classic Mug, 325 ml
Colors just as bright as shown on-line.
Would be nice if the colour choices for interior & handle on the large mug were as many as on the smaller one.
