Furry Drone

Posted by Steven Kennard
I've only ever seen a flying squirrel once, in Kejimkujik Park in Nova Scotia. It was 'flying' around the campsite one night, moving so quickly it was hard to catch sight of where it was each time. This time it stopped to pick up something to eat before taking off again. They spread these flaps of skin between the front and back paws to glide between trees. Happy Squirrel Saturday! A small furry grey, brown and cream squirrel is crouching on the trunk of a moss-covered trunk of a tree, preparing for takeoff You can see the cream edged flaps of skin reaching from the front paws to the back legs and a fluffy tail as well as roundish ears and huge black eyes.

A small furry grey, brown and cream squirrel is sitting up facing to the right, eating something in her paws. You can see the cream edged flaps of skin reaching down from the front paws to the back legs. We see ears and one big black eye as well as black whiskers.
