  • Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels are usually nocturnal. This one was active during the day, as shown here. Diurnal activity like this is not common. This unusual behavior may have been an adaptation to the presence of a pair of Ural owls.

  • This Japanese dwarf flying squirrel (Pteromys volans orii) is just emerging from its nest in the trunk of a tree at dusk to prepare for a night of foraging. Found only in Hokkaido, Japan, these animals prefer small holes to their nests, as this provides a measure of protection from predators like owls and martens. This particular nest entrance is also partially covered by a large white fungus, which obscures it from view. This animal is a sub-species of Siberian flying squirrel and is known locally as ezo-momonga.

  • 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, as seen here. This individual is just emerging from a hole in a Sakhalin fir tree (Abies sachalinensis) at dusk, in preparation for a night of foraging. These small animals are particularly wary when they emerge, as they must be on the lookout for predators like owls and weasels. Their diet primarily comprises leaves, seeds, cones, buds, sprouts, nuts and berries. This species does not hibernate.
