What is a major adaptation of the flying squirrel?
Glaucomys sabrinus (northern flying squirrels) weighs between 75 and 140 grams, and ranges from 275 to 342 mm in length. It has silky grey and cinnamon brown fur, with white tipped and grey based belly hairs. Northern flying squirrels have a furred patagium (fleshy membrane) that extends from the wrist of the foreleg to the ankles of the hind leg. The tail is furred, flattened, rounded at the end, and long (80% of the length of the head and body). Glaucomys sabrinus has large black eyes, which it uses for nighttime activity. Southern flying squirrels, which appear similar to the northern flying squirrels, can be distinguished because they are smaller and the hairs on the belly are often white all the way to the base of the hair.
