Mammals of Kubah National Park Sarawak

Flying Fox perhaps?
Family of Fruit Bats (all five of them) cuddled up and perched upside-down on top corner of wooden beam in the hut next to the world-renown frog pond of Kubah National Park, Sarawak.
Guessing that this is a Giant Squirrel based on quick reading of the Guide to Mammals of Borneo as illustrated by Karen Philips. Couldn't snap a picture of its head in time as this squirrel was bounding actively along the top branch of this forest tree in Kubah National Park, Sarawak.

    Mammals of Borneo Field Guide is by Junaidi Payne and Charles M. Francis - footprints of mammals such as otters covered as well.

    Dog-nosed Fruit Bat and Giant Squirrel indeed! They are the most common mammal residents there, other squirrels and shrews are common as well but not as easy to photograph.

      Thanks! It was a very wet day in Kubah so the bats rested in man-made structures that weekend:)
