The Southern Flying Squirrel has grey fur on it's back which means that is camouflaged from predators up above.

It also has large eyes which contribute to helping it see well in the dark (as it is a nocturnal species).

They have a membrane that is attached between the front and hind limbs, which when extended acts as a wing for gliding.

and a flat tail that also helps =) For more information please visit ww.Roblox.com
