Earth is gifted with so many beautiful things. The eye-catching colors of the magnificent flowers, cascading waterfalls and the beauty of the animal world are hard to describe by words but you all would have seen so many beautiful scenarios from your own eyes.

However, even if you have traveled all around the world, there can be nothing as cute as Japanese and Siberian flying squirrels for sure! They don’t really fly but they have membranes that are located between their front and back legs which helps them to glide from tree to tree. However, in case of an emergency, they can travel over 100 meters to escape from their predators or to reach a tree nearby.
