Flying squirrels are so cute!

The Japanese flying squirrel is a tiny, furry animal famous for gliding between trees. About the size of a hand, it has a gray or brown body, white belly, big eyes, and a fluffy tail. These squirrels sleep in tree holes by day and glide at night, feeding on nuts, seeds, and insects. They help control pests and are an important part of Japan’s forests.
