These tiny
squirrel friends full of fur are the best ever cute animals on Earth. They are
often called the Flying Squirrels. Now, aren't you going to ask me a question?
Do they really fly? No they don't. They just glide using their patagium or the
furry membrane between their rear and front legs. This particular membrane is
very much helpful for them to glide over 100 meters. Therefore, they have
received the ability to escape from a predator or else to reach another tree or
a branch with less effort.
The whole
body of these animals are covered with fur; white fur in the stomach while grey
fur in the back. The cuteness of them goes for the extreme due to the perfect
blend of fur and the tiny pinkish nose. Their skin helps them to remain warm in
winter. Hibernation during winter is not seen in them. But they do sleep for a
few days during some seasons. These flying squirrels are usually seen in Europe
and Japan. Often in the coastal line from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific coast.
This specific species is categorized under the list of Old World flying
squirrels.
