"In addition to membranes between their front and hind legs that help them to remain aloft as they jump between trees, the #squirrels also have two rows of pointed, raised scales along the underside of their tails."

Discovery reveals giant flying squirrel once soared over Southern Appalachia
https://phys.org/news/2025-02-discovery-reveals-giant-flying-squirrel.html paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10914-025-09751-w
"A giant #FlyingSquirrel—about the size of today's house cats—once soared through the skies over what is now Southern #Appalachia, gliding above #rhinos, #mastodons and red #pandas... closest relatives are the giant #FlyingSquirrels in Japan, China and Indonesia... somehow they crossed the Bering Land Bridge alongside other #mammals about 5 million years ago."
gulfkiwiOne of the weirdest challenges I face is convincing DALL-E to represent a flying squirrel (or sugarglider).
Go ahead. Try it. Madness will result.
TheBatBotLab🇺🇸Who you calling 'giant'? 😏 The spotted giant flying squirrel (Petaurista elegans) may have a big name, but at 30-40 cm length, it’s more 'fun-sized' than 'giant'! Here, it is peeking out of its cozy tree hole on Mt. Kinabalu, Sabah, #Malaysia. Don’t let the size fool you, though —they’ve got plenty of glide in them!
