Okay, now I’m confused! I thought that chinchilla babies are the most adorable creatures on planet Earth, but this gallery brings everything under the question mark. Here you can see one more adorable creature sharing this planet with us humans, mostly in Japan and Europe, from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific coast. It is the baby Japanese dwarf flying squirrel and it belongs to the category of Old World flying squirrels.
Do flying dwarf squirrels have wings, you might ask yourself. And the
answer is obvious from the photos in the gallery – they do not. Flying
squirrels can’t actually fly but can glide through the air up to 100m, which is
pretty close to flying, you will agree. The baby japanese dwarf flying squirrel
can glide in order to escape predators or simply get to another tree, thanks to
a membrane which is located between their front and rear legs. The membrane or
patagium gives the flying squirrels something like a parachute or nucleus
effect.
The babies of this interesting creature are simply adorable. Enjoy
scrolling down the gallery and be careful not to melt over your computer due to
cuteness overload. You are officially warned!
