Why do flying squirrels flaps of featherless skin between their front and back legs?

To begin with, a flying squirrel does not have "featherless skin" as it is a mammal. It has skin without fur. Mammals do not have feathers. Secondly, the flaps of skin help these animals glide. Although they are called "flying squirrels", in reality they are "gliding squirrels". When they leap from a high point, they extend their forelegs and hind legs, spreading these skin membranes which then catch the air currents, allowing them to glide a short distance between tree branches. In this way, they can evade ground-dwelling predators more easily.
