Pteromys volans orii Flying Squirrel

Depicted here is the split-second prior to this Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel landing on a tree. The squirrel has adjusted its attitude in mid-flight toward a relatively vertical position to reduce speed. It has also folded its wings inward and stretched its limbs forward in preparation for grasping the tree ahead.
