Pallas's Squirrel Kit
Callosciurus erythraeus (kit)
This young squirrel remains close to its nest in wooded habitats while it develops climbing and foraging skills. It feeds first on milk, then begins sampling soft fruits, seeds, and tender plant material. Kits are born blind and sparsely furred, relying on their mother for warmth and protection.
