Flying squirrels are secretive creatures but if you're lucky, you might meet one. Or two. Or three. | BBC

Soaring through the night like a tiny, furry parachute, the Flying Squirrel is one of nature’s most mesmerising acrobats. It doesn’t truly "fly", but its effortless movement between treetops makes it seem almost weightless. With a leap of faith, it spreads its limbs, unveiling a hidden membrane that turns freefall into a graceful glide — sometimes covering over 100 metres in a single flight! Have you ever spotted one in the wild? Credits: shivakumargangal_ifs #FylingSquirrel #IFS #wildanimals #s
