Reason for grizzled giant squirrel becoming endangered?
The grizzled giant squirrel is
hunted for food and for its fur by forest-dwelling people, and an
increasing local human population has caused even the activities of
the forest people to become destructive. Habitat degradation has
resulted in the thinning of the canopy which makes the grizzled
giant squirrel more vulnerable to predation by the black eagle and
other aerial predators.
