Is there such a thing as a flying squirrel?

Answer 1

No, they cannot. The only mammal that can truly fly is the bat. Flying squirrels use special membranes which stretch between their ankles and wrists to catch air currents, thereby gliding between trees, much the way the sugar gliders do.

Answer 2

Yes, flying squirrels are a type of squirrel that have a specialized membrane between their front and hind limbs that allows them to glide through the air. While they cannot truly fly like birds, they are adept at gliding from tree to tree in search of food and shelter.

Answer 3

Flying squirrels do exist, but they do not actually fly: they can only glide. They are members of the rodent family, like other squirrels.

Answer 4

yes they can

Answer 5
