Flying squirrels are small, nocturnal squirrels that can glide from tree to tree. They are native to Siberia but can now be found in North America. Flying squirrels eat a variety of foods including nuts, seeds, insects, fungi and small animals. They breed multiple times per year and the young are born pink, hairless and blind. Despite their small size, flying squirrels can glide over 50 feet between trees using flaps of skin supported by long tail and legs.
