The Squirrel Symbol of Aman Tioman Beach Resort

Aman Tioman Beach Resort’s Logo

Have you ever spotted a giant squirrel before? Not the little brown ones that dart across parks on the mainland—but a real giant, with a sleek black coat, golden belly, and a tail almost as long as its body. If you’ve been to Tioman Island, chances are you’ve met our island’s cheeky superstar: the black giant squirrel (Ratufa bicolor).

At Aman Tioman Beach Resort, we didn’t just choose this squirrel for our logo because it’s cute (although, come on… have you seen them?). We chose it because it’s part of our island’s identity. These squirrels are often seen leaping gracefully from coconut trees to sea almond branches around our resort—sometimes pausing to watch you just as curiously as you’re watching them.

Fun Fact #1 – They’re Really, Really Big!

Essential Packing List for the Dry Season:

The black giant squirrel can grow up to 1 meter from nose to tail tip. Imagine seeing a “cat-sized” squirrel munching on fruits in the trees above you—it’s an unforgettable sight!

Fun Fact #2 – Island VIPs

On Tioman, they’re not just wildlife—they’re part of the community. Locals know their favorite hangouts, and if you’re lucky, you might spot one enjoying breakfast just as you’re having yours at the resort deck.

Fun Fact #3 – Tree-to-Tree Acrobatics

These squirrels rarely come down to the ground. They’re expert climbers and spend most of their lives up in the canopy, gliding from branch to branch in search of fruits, nuts, and young leaves.

Why They Inspire Our Logo

Our logo’s playful squirrel isn’t just a mascot—it’s a reminder that Aman Tioman Beach Resort is deeply connected to the natural beauty around us. Just like these squirrels, we live in harmony with the island’s jungle surroundings, offering guests not just a stay, but an experience where nature is always close by.

So, next time you’re here, look up—you might just see our “logo” in real life, hopping through the trees, tail swishing in the sea breeze. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll fall in love with Tioman’s black giant squirrel as much as we have.
