My father in law brought this home the other day. Biggest squirrel I ever saw.

I believe it's a Giant spotted flying squirrel, which is listed as least concern for conservation, so don't be too upset.

I didn't get to taste this one, But I imagine it tasted much more like the chilis and herbs they added then it did squirrel. Usually that's how it goes.

We've had lots of durian damaged by squirrels. I'd eat it and not lose any sleep.

This is in the wrong forum !!

I'm guessing it's not a pet ?

It might be 'least concern' on the conservation list but still....

Very sad..

concur.. but reality can be harsh. I feel the same every time i see ngu sing (rat snakes) being killed for food in Thailand, among other animals.

incidentally, there were some young squirrels (fairly sure they were 'trapped' wild animals) for sale in kad farang, chiangmai last night. They were being sold along with the bunnies & mice as pets.

By that Giant Flying Squirrel kind?

I doubt that! I never saw such a squirrel in Thailand until now on that photo.

Here in Isaan there is nearly no Wildlife left!

But sure better some Durian saved, than some Giant Flying Squirrels.

With such logic the last Cheetahs in Africa are killed, as they sometimes eat live stock from farmers.

Surely also, your logic would make reasonable to kill the last Tigers as they also, sometimes catch and kill, eat livestock in South East Asia and India!

Do you not think, that your Durian Farm is on land, which was until recently the Sqirrels, of what kind ever, 'Homeland?"

You and your Gfs ancestors encroached on their land, not the other way around!

Did they eat the wings/skin flaps?

Or just the body?

I wasn't there when they ate it, but they don't generally eat the skins from rodents, and I don't think the flaps have anything in them, it's just skin and fur.

a shame killing this animal! bah.gif

Personally I would have loved to have seen it alive, but a man shooting a squirrel for his supper pot is fair play wouldn't you say.

If he not shot it for the nice fur, for the "cold winter nights" - now he has already one fur. I, if I you, would promise him,

to buy him a big grilled chicken, with sure more meat, if he next time does not shoot something like that again. thumbsup.gif
