Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel | Pteromys volans orii

This is a Japanese dwarf flying squirrel (Pteromys volans orii) that has found a comfortable place to perch, just as mid-afternoon sunlight broke through a cloud-filled sky. These animals are nocturnal, but occasionally emerge from their nests during daylight hours.
