  • This is a species of flying squirrel called Ezo Momonga in Japanese (Pteromys volans orii). It is a sub-species of Siberian flying squirrels that is found on the island of Hokkaido in Japan. These squirrels are primarily nocturnal and usually shy, though the squirrels can occasionally be seen during the day. They prefer to take up residence in holes made by woodpeckers. Their diet primarily comprises leaves, seeds, cones, buds, sprouts, nuts and berries. This individual paused in this position for a few moments after emerging one winter evening from its hole in a Sakhalin fir tree (Abies sachalinensis), known as todomatsu in Japanese. This species does not hibernate.
