Hey, flying squirrel, what’s it like being able to use your loose skin to glide without getting the same stigma as bats because you’re way cuter?
*Thumbs up*
I thought so!

Heeere I come to save the daaaaaaaay!
Wheeeeeeee!!!!!
NOT flying squirrel. Sugarglider. Smaller. Even squee~er than squirrel.
Isn’t that a sugar glider?
No perspective in this shot. So it could be a glider or a flying squirrel, I think.
Either way, cute!
I stand corrected, apparently it is a squirrel. As I was finding that out I also came across this:
“Japanese macaques will completely flip out when presented with flying squirrels, a new study in monkey-antagonism has found. The research could pave the way for advanced methods of enraging monkeys.”
Perspective does not matter. Squirrels (flying or not) do not have such large eyes as they are not nocturnal. Nor do their faces come to such a point. Nor is the tail correct for a squirrel.

Nawt kyooter den batty! Batty iz sooper-kyoot an luvbul.
I agree! And bats don’t pluck the fruit from my dwarf almond tree before the fruit is ripe and then leave the nibbled pieces to rot on the ground. GRRRRR! (And bats are cuter!)
Looks like a sugar glider.
Fantastic photo, but disagree about bats — they are amazing, fascinating, weirdly beautiful creatures. And yeah, lots of them are cute too.
It’s a flying squirrel. It doesn’t have the markings on the underside of the “wings”, or the correct markings on its head that would make it a sugar glider.
Whatever it is, it kinda looks like he has a feather stuck in his butt!
love everyone else who thinks bats are wayyy cuter and so much more important to the environmnet =D
It is a sugar glider, it looks exactly like one my girlfriend use to own.
I like sugar gliders, flying squirrels, and bats! look up Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel, they are cute!
Flying Squirrels & Sugar Gliders are BOTH nocturnal & BOTH glide. This is a flying squirrel. I should know: I have one! Flying Squirrels are mammals, but Sugar Gliders are marsupials. Wild ones DON’T live in the same areas & both look very different. Wild Flying Squirrels are found in North America, California, Colorado, & Canada, while wild Sugar Gliders are found in eastern & northern mainland Australia, New Guinea, & the Bismarck Archipelago, & introduced to Tasmania, Australia. Flying Squirrels are mammals & Sugar Gliders are marsupials. Shouldn’t be too hard to tell the difference…
