Diet
Siberian flying squirrel's diet primarily consists of vegetation, particularly leaves and sprouts. Apart from these, they also consume nuts, berries, and occasionally insects, representing the lesser-known omnivorous aspect of their primarily herbivorous dietary regimen.
Appearance
Siberian flying squirrel is a small-sized mammal with a slender body, sized between 18-25 cm. Its fur has a dual-tone color, with the upperside boasting a bluish gray and underside, a pure white. The standout features are the membranes stretching between limbs, helping in gliding, and its long-haired, bushy tail. Both genders look similar, with no significant changes due to age or subspecies.
Behavior
Siberian flying squirrel is a nocturnal, arboreal rodent, largely indulging in single-gliding flights between trees in search of food, primarily tree sap, bark, and plants. An invariable larder hoarder, it exhibits solitude outside the mating season. Remarkably, it makes vocal calls and uses scent marks for territory defense.
