The hairy-footed flying squirrel is a small nocturnal gliding squirrel named for the dense hair covering its feet. Its soft reddish-brown coat, pale underside, long tail and limb-to-limb gliding membrane distinguish it from ordinary tree squirrels. It occurs from the eastern Himalayas through southern China into mainland Southeast Asia, inhabiting subtropical and montane forest and resting in tree cavities during daylight.
