Japanese Flying Squirrel Male Competition | Pteromys volans orii

This is the moment that one male Japanese dwarf flying squirrel (Pteromys volans orii) ambushed a rival male, sneaking up from behind and leaping on on top of the other male. Male rivalry and competition like this takes place during the reproductive season. The action is rapid, often spanning wide areas as the animals leap and glide among trees.
