Colophon

The giant red flying squirrel (Petaurista petaurista) ranges from Afghanistan to Indonesia, and is most frequently found in the forests of Pakistan. It lives in the trees, and can glide between them thanks to the membranes of muscle and skin between its front and rear legs. These nocturnal creatures are most active in the early evening, feeding on pine cones, leaves, branches, and sometimes fruit, nuts, and insects. Average squirrels have a body approximately 16 inches long plus a slightly longer tail, and weigh almost four pounds.
