The Japanese flying squirrel is a small, furry wonder that glides between trees. About the size of a human hand, it has gray or brown fur, a white belly, big eyes, and a bushy tail. Nocturnal by nature, it sleeps in tree holes by day and emerges at night to feed on nuts, seeds, and insects. These agile gliders can soar up to 100 feet, helping control insects and serving an important role in Japan’s ecosystems.
