ANd the Giant Grizzled Squirrel quietly fades away

Ratufa macruora is dead. Long live the revolution.

Ummm, sorry. The Giant Grizzled Squirrel is not yet dead. But even he and many of his ilk die, will it matter My bet is on the big word "No". Who are we to worry about the Ratufa macruora, who are we to worry about this obscure animal also known as the Giant Grizzled Squirrel.

For it was giant in an earlier time and era, it was a giant when the end was not so near and it was a giant because some romantic biologist deemed so.

This article brings out a point. https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/kerala/dwindling-grizzled-giant-squirrel-species/article25106154.ece

With 500 of them remaining, we should wait to see whether they live to see 2030
