"Few scientists have ever seen the rare tufted ground squirrel
(Rheithrosciurus macrotis), which hides in the hilly forests of Borneo,
but it is an odd beast. It’s twice the size of most tree squirrels, and
it reputedly has a taste for blood. Now, motion-controlled cameras have
revealed another curious fact. The 35-centimeter-long rodent has the
bushiest tail of any mammal compared with its body size."
Squirrel!!
Now that is a big tail.
