Their unique and charming appearance is what has caused them to be compared to cartoons, since they are extremely small and spongy beings, in addition to the fact that they are capable of making very long jumps that give them the appearance of flying through the skies in the form of bats or birds.
The flight of these squirrels is achieved thanks to a membrane, which extends from the front to the back extremities and is covered with hair. In addition, the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel glides long distances of up to 100 meters at a time, using this ability to move between trees or escape from predators.
