The Japanese flying squirrel is a small, furry animal renowned for its ability to glide between trees. About the size of a human hand, it has a gray or brown body, white belly, large eyes, and a fluffy tail. Nocturnal by habit, it rests in tree cavities during the day and emerges at night to feed on nuts, seeds, and insects. These squirrels are exceptional gliders, soaring up to 100 feet by extending their limbs. They help manage insects and serve as prey for birds of prey, playing a crucial role in Japan's ecosystem.
