Squirrel is flying !!

• Squirrel is flying (Glucomys volans)

Flying Squirrel, nocturnal rodent that glides from higher to lower tree branches by means of a blanket like membrane of furry skin stretched between its long forelegs and hind legs. Flying squirrels have large eyes, dense soft fur, and long flattened tails, which are used to guide their parachute like glides;

it has gray fur and a white underside. A gregarious squirrel that nests in tree hollows, birdhouses, and buildings, it feeds at night on nuts, fruit, buds, and insects and rarely descends to the ground. They have membranes that attach at the elbow rather than at the wrist, but the animals look like true flying squirrels except for their shorter, tufted tails.long nails help it to grab a tree. The scaly underside of the tail is used for climbing and for gripping when the animals land after gliding.
