There are squirrels living in the land there that live in trees. Even the squirrels from the subspecies Pteromyini capable of flying (flying from top to bottom), because this type has a membrane (a thin membrane) between the front and rear legs that allow floating away among the trees.

Unlike the Squirrels that eat insects, squirrels are rodents that eat the fruit. Often these animals are considered as pests mainly on coconut plantations and fruit plantations. Perhaps because the animals are considered pests and destroyer is then the term 'bastard'.
