The flying squirrel loves to fly from a height right into the hand of the mistress

The flying squirrel looks like a small squirrel, but between the front and hind legs it has a wide skin fold covered with wool - a flying membrane that plays the role of a parachute and partially carries the surface when jumping. The tail is long, covered with thick long fur.
Its dimensions are small, slightly smaller than squirrels: body length 12-18 cm, tail - 11‒13 cm; weight up to 170 g. The head is round, blunt-nosed, with large and convex, due to the twilight and nocturnal lifestyle, black eyes.
The animals are active all year round.
Our squirrels eat nuts, seeds, vegetables and fruits.
