Bhutan Giant Flying Squirrel

The Bhutan giant flying squirrel is a large, richly coloured flying squirrel of the eastern Himalayas. A broad membrane connecting the limbs enables it to glide between trees, while the long tail provides stability and steering. The species is associated with montane broadleaf and mixed forest in Bhutan, northeastern India and adjacent Tibet. It is nocturnal and arboreal, spending daylight hours in tree cavities or other sheltered nests. (Wikipedia, general species account)
