Ratufa Indica (which may have a different scientific name in the future) will go through tons of changes due to mass amounts of deforestation. I think that so much pollution could make a big change too. One change is it may have a longer tail for more balance. The squirrel will also have to find different ways to hide from its predators because its predators will have changed. It would also have to evolve skin membranes to glide because trees are farther apart. Also different camouflage colors such as a rusty tree brown or dark grey because there might be more forest fires in the future. This would cause a ton of dark ashes and soot. So the squirrel will have to blend in with that. It might evolve a fight instead of flight response because there are not as many leaves to hide it.
