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.
A flying squirrel doesn't fly, it glides using skin flaps at its sides. A squirrel is also a rodent and birds are birds. A flying squirrel isn't adapted to flying as it is too heavy to fly, but only glide. A bird has hollow bones and muscles in their wings, flying squirrels have heavy bones and only skin flaps and no muscle in them.
Bats are the only flying mammals. There are also flying lizards, snakes, and squirrels, but they actually glide from one place to a lower point.
You would be flying east from Moscow to Vladivostok.
Yes, they catch other flying insects and eat them.

what does flying squirrels eat
Bats are the flying mammals. There are some squirrels that 'glide' that are referred to as flying squirrels.
umm.......fly?
no they glide
They can't. Squirrels that can "fly" are actually gliding/jumping.
No they're called flying squirreles because someone named them that. of course they can fly!!
Flying squirrels actually glide not fly
No. Bats are flying mammals. Flying squirrels glide rather than fly. I know of no others.
yes because they can fly Well, they probably aren't. It deoends on whether you like cats or flying squirrels better.
Although squirrels can not fly, there is one specific breed that has loose flabs of skin that they stretch out with their arms to levitate when they jump. These are called Flying Squirrels. Most squirrels cannot do that. But technically, squirrels cannot fly.
No, they glide why the flaps in-between their arms and legs!
