Northern Flying Squirrel
Obtain a northern flying squirrel photo from breeders.
What provides for this gliding ability is a fold of skin that extends from the wrists on the forelegs to the ankles on the hind legs. This membrane, called the patagium, resembles a parachute. When landing on the trunk, the animals move rapidly to the other side of the tree to escape predators that might be hunting them.

Northern Flying Squirrel -
photo, breeders
The animals are characterized by large eyes, prominent ears, and a bushy tail. The tail is flat and serves as a rudder during a “flight.” Despite the name the animals do not really fly; instead they glide from one tree to the other in a very spectacular manner.
