  2. Discovery reveals giant flying squirrel once soared over Southern Appalachia
    phys.org/news/2025-02-discover paper: link.springer.com/article/10.1

    "A giant #FlyingSquirrel—about the size of today's house cats—once soared through the skies over what is now Southern #Appalachia, gliding above #rhinos, #mastodons and red #pandas... closest relatives are the giant #FlyingSquirrels in Japan, China and Indonesia... somehow they crossed the Bering Land Bridge alongside other #mammals about 5 million years ago."

  3. The group who maintain the cameras also runs a chat for a couple of hours each day, and I read something interesting and went back through the webcam timeline to check.

    It's pretty hilarious. At 4:55AM today, "Fiona" as they call whatever flying squirrel comes near the nest jumps right on Jackie's back and then leaps away. Successfully. Without being eaten.

    This looks like a dare to me.

    (Please check up the thread for the links to the webcam and FOBBV)

    I’ve only ever seen a flying squirrel once, in Kejimkujik Park in Nova Scotia. It was ‘flying’ around the campsite one night, moving so quickly it was hard to catch sight of where it was each time. This time it stopped to pick up something to eat before taking off again. They spread these flaps of skin between the front and back paws to glide between trees.Happy #SquirrelSaturday

  5. Flying Squirrel ready for Takeoff

    This little guy was about to launch himself from the tree when I caught this . They move so fast and it was really dark, they are not easy to photograph. He was in #kejimkujik park, Nova Scotia #Keji
    Have a good Saturday, all.

  8. Had been feeling rather pleased that we had recently seen a snipe in our garden for the first time ever. Just been beaten by Canadian relative who had a flying squirrel at their bird feeder. #Snipe #FlyingSquirrel

  9. I have been wondering if there were flying squirrels around, because they are native here but I haven't seen one. The squirrel cam finally confirmed there is one.
