 * Reason:We already have an FP of this animal but that one shows a camouflaged squirrel feeding. This one is much easier to spot with a an aesthetic background.

 * Support as nominator --Muhammad (talk) 03:39, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support I think I have a photo or two of this species, if it is found in Thailand. I prefer yours though. JJ Harrison (talk) 03:45, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Funambulus palmarum doesn't occur in Thailand, and neither does any other Funambulus. You might have a Lariscus or Menetes, both of which look somewhat like Funambulus. We don't have any pictures of either squirrel yet, so I'd encourage you to upload your pictures. Ucucha (talk) 21:46, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support: Fantastic resolution, cute critter (good for the MP), and encyclopedic. A little concerned about the tail fur, which reaches the edge of the frame, but it isn't a big enough deal for me to oppose. Crisco 1492 (talk) 14:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Are we able to have a new crop of this? JFitch   (talk)  23:11, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately not but IMO a few hairs should not matter --Muhammad (talk) 03:59, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support Excellent.  Jujutacular  talk 18:44, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Support I'd prefer a nicer crop but besides that I can get behind this. JFitch   (talk)  17:25, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * As much as I'd have liked, I didn't get the full animal in a single shot and squirrels are not animals that usually pose for shots ;-) --Muhammad (talk) 17:36, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Support. I considered a weak support because I don't think the usages are perfect, but the fact this is from India (underrepresented) tips the balance into a full support. The quality is good, the EV is reasonable, the crop does not concern me. J Milburn (talk) 22:23, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
