Flying Squirrel

“Resemble the common squirrels, with a lateral membrane similar to that of the Pteromys. By means of this they make enormous leaps, sometimes nifty yards or more, from tree to tree, usually at first decending, and then rising and alighting in the manner of birds about to terminate their flight.” — S. G. Goodrich, 1885
