Well yes, and no. Am I soaring high above the ground in my mind like the flying squirrel I am? Yes. Do I actually have squirrel flaps? No.
They get their energy from nuts.But in all seriousness, if you are referring to how do they fly? The flying squirrel has two folded flaps of furry skin, one on each side of their body. The flaps start at their wrist and end at their ankle. At rest these flaps are hardly noticable, but the are opened when the squirrel jumps and spreads himself. The flaps open out and act almost like a parachute, and this allows the squirrel to glide.The design of the flying squirrel is so effective it has even been adapted by some extreme sportspeople. They have designed a suit which is similar to the squirrel and they jump off the side of cliffs etc, they glide for what seems like an eternity, before they deploy their parachute.
A Flying squirrel
Flying Squirrels have adapted by Ganing these little wing like flaps which allow them to GLIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (NOT FLY)!
A flying squirrel can jump very far, a squirrel cant jump that far. It has flaps of skin that act almost like the wings of a glider allowing it to gain further distance with its jumps.
They can not fly at all.They actually glide from tree to tree.They can do this because the skin flaps under their arm.And the only species that can do that is the Flying Squirrel.
Sugar Gliders are small marsupial animals that are usually found in Australia and surrounding islands. They have flaps of skin between their front and back legs, allowing them to briefly glide between one tree and another in their search of food, mates, and shelter.
. . . flaps!
They have 5 tail flaps
a flying squirrel has fur not haIR BUT THAT DOESNT REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND YES THEY HAVE EARS BECAUSE THEY ARE A SQUIRrel (sorry my computer was on caps) but as i was saying they are a squirrel they just have extra fat that makes their "wings"
