Flying squirrels typically mate in the late winter or early spring. Mating involves a male chasing a female through the treetops until she is ready to mate. The male will then mount the female from behind for copulation. After mating, the female will give birth to a litter of 2-6 young in a well-hidden nest.

Yes, squirrels are capable of running backwards. They have flexible joints that allow them to move in various directions quickly, including backwards. This agility helps them escape predators and navigate their environment effectively.
Squirrels catch food by using their sharp claws and agility to climb trees and leap from branch to branch to reach nuts, seeds, and fruits. They also use their keen sense of smell and sight to locate food on the ground, which they then gather with their dexterous paws. Additionally, squirrels are known to bury food caches for later consumption.

I think that we find them "cute" looking because we assign them human characteristics (anthropomorphism) as we do a lot of animals. Like human babies, they have big eyes in a small, kind of heart-shaped face with a tiny nose and mouth. We find this extremely attractive for some reason. (I am not a scientist, just an observer of human behavior). Their movements are also "cute" because they perform seemingly impossible gymnastic maneuvers to accomplish their tasks.
What helps the flying squirrel get its food?
Flying squirrels are able to glide between trees using the flaps of skin that connect their limbs, allowing them to access a wider range of food sources. They primarily feed on a variety of nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects found in treetops, using their agility and ability to leap to catch prey. Their unique flying ability enables them to navigate efficiently through the forest canopy to find food.
