A red giant flying squirrel (Petaurista petaurista) is depicted in full flight, while a second squirrel remains alert on a branch in the background.
The red giant flying squirrel is a rodent in the family Sciuridae, native to Asia. A flying membrane which extends between the legs and arms allows it to glide for distances up to 246 ft (75 m) while controlling the direction of the glide.
