Spotted Squirrels
Spotted squirrels, such as the Spotted Giant Flying Squirrel (Petaurista elegans), are nocturnal gliders known for their distinctive fur patterns. Their coats often feature dark spots or streaks against a lighter background, providing effective camouflage against tree trunks and forest shadows. These squirrels use their patagium—a skin membrane stretching between their limbs—to glide remarkable distances, sometimes over 100 feet, in search of food.
Living in dense forests across Asia, spotted squirrels feed primarily on fruits, nuts, and leaves. Their unique coloration and gliding ability make them a fascinating subject of study for scientists and a delight for those lucky enough to spot them in the wild. Despite their beauty, these squirrels remain elusive and are rarely seen during daylight hours.
