Joey loves to watch the squirrels playing! He learned all about the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel yesterday. Joey loves sharing so he wants me to tell you all about the Japanese dwarf flying squirrels. Have you ever heard about this cute little squirrel before? If you haven’t now is your chance to learn something new today.
These cute and fluffy little creatures are native to Japan. The
Japanese dwarf flying squirrel lives in the forests of the Honshu and Kyushu
islands. There are over 50 different species of flying squirrels in the world
and these cute fluffy little critters are one of them.
Facts about Japanese dwarf flying squirrels:
1. The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel can get up to almost 8
inches tall or less, and weigh up to a half of a pound or less. A half of a
pound is 8 ounces. That is tiny!
2. The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel is an herbivore.
Herbivore means they eat mostly plants and other vegetation like fruits,
leaves, flowers, tree bark, and seeds. On occasion they may even eat some
insects if they get hungry enough.
3. The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel doesn’t actually fly
it glides. It can glide from tree to tree while hunting for food to eat. It can
glide distances of up to 300 feet sometimes more and sometimes less depending
on the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel.
4. The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel is nocturnal.
Nocturnal means they are mainly awake during the night. Night time is when they
hunt for their food. During the day time hours, they rest in their nests or
holes in the trees.

squirrel is Pteromys momonga.
