The Rare Grizzled Giant Squirrel
One of the most special residents of Into the Blue is a family of rare grizzled giant squirrels. These striking, bushy-tailed creatures are incredibly rare in Sri Lanka and a true sight to behold.

🐸 Tiny frogs emerging after the rain
As night falls, the sound of frogs and cicadas creates a mesmerizing jungle symphony.
