外見

The Northern Flying Squirrel has soft, reddish-brown fur on its back and a creamy white belly. It has very large, dark eyes for seeing at night, and a flattened, bushy tail. A loose skin membrane, called a patagium, stretches from its wrists to ankles, making it look distinct from other squirrels.
