Pteromys volans orii Flying Squirrel Eating Betula ermanii

This is an unusual behavior. This Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel had stashed food in an unused bird's nest at some point. On this overcast day, the squirrel plucked out and consumed male catkins of an Erman's birch (Betula ermanii), one after another, until the food stash was exhausted.
