The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel is a tiny, irresistibly cute creature found in the forests of Honshu and Kyushu in Japan. With its big round eyes, soft fur, and fluffy tail, it looks like something straight out of a fairytale. It doesn’t actually fly, but glides between trees using a stretchy membrane called a patagium between its arms and legs. Nocturnal and shy, it spends its nights gliding through treetops in search of leaves, seeds, and bark to nibble on. Video credit goes to @masato.hokk

Meet Japan’s flying fluffball — the Japanese flying squirrel! 🐿️💨 Found in the forests of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu, this adorable little glider spends its nights soaring from tree to tree, wrapped in the softest fur and sporting a tail fluffier than a cloud. ☁️🌲 Unlike most squirrels, it doesn’t hibernate — even in the freezing winter, it’s out gathering nuts, seeds, and fruits under the moonlight. 🌕❄️ Sadly, its peaceful forest home is shrinking due to urban growth and deforestation. 💔
