The enchanting world of the old world flying squirrel comes to life in these captivating snapshots. In Hokkaido, Japan, a Siberian flying squirrel delicately feeds on the Sakhalin fir tree, showcasing its graceful movements amidst nature's beauty. A female Siberian flying squirrel sits at the entrance of her nest in February, exuding an air of anticipation for what lies ahead. March brings forth a tale of love and rejection as a male Siberian flying squirrel attempts to enter the nest with his mate inside but is stopped midway and ultimately rejected. Nature's call cannot be ignored as we witness a composite image capturing the moment when this furry creature defecates after emerging from its nest for about twenty seconds - a reminder that even in flight, nature takes its course. With split-second precision, another Siberian flying squirrel adjusts its attitude mid-flight towards a vertical position while folding its wings inward to reduce speed before landing on a tree. The photographer becomes part of the story as one brave soul captures an incredible shot of this majestic creature soaring directly above them. A pair of Japanese dwarf flying squirrels prepares for their reproductive season by sharing a cozy nest nestled within a tree hole. As light snowfall graces Hokkaido's forest canopy in February, one can't help but marvel at these miniature gliders gracefully navigating through their wintry wonderland. Intriguing dynamics unfold between male and female Japanese dwarf flying squirrels during their reproductive season; perched on branches overlooking their domain with curiosity and purpose shining bright in their eyes. Peeking out from their nests or sitting comfortably in favorite spots during overcast winter mornings, these Siberian flyers remind us that there is still magic to be found even on gloomy days. And just before embarking on an evening filled with treetop adventures, they take one last look around - surveying their surroundings with wisdom beyond our understanding.
