Flying "Little Squirrel"

Flying squirrels look like squirrels. If you don't pay attention, it's easy to mistake it for a squirrel. This is because flying squirrels are relatives of squirrels.

However, when a flying squirrel flies from tree to tree with its limbs open, you can recognize it immediately. Its unique flying attitude is guaranteed to make you unforgettable.

It turns out that there is a wide and hairy film between the limbs of flying squirrel. After opening, the body can slide in the air like a kite, and it looks like flying. With this skill, flying squirrels can quickly escape the attacks of natural enemies such as snakes, lizards and owls. Although the flying squirrel has such magical ability, it is timid and runs away at the slightest sign of trouble. So it is not easy for you to meet in the wild.

Peter Pan has good skills.

Although the flying squirrel is a little timid, his skills are definitely not ambiguous. Flying squirrels have five magical powers: flying skills, getting off the ground, flying on water, scud, and climbing over eaves and walls. Almost all of them are close to flying characters, and they are worthy of being called "flying rats".

Flying skills, it is said that flying is the flying squirrel's housekeeping skill. Although petite, only ten centimeters long, it can "fly" hundreds of meters in the air. When flying squirrels glide, their limbs and tails will be Zhang Kaicheng-shaped, and the skin between the limbs will be stretched and tightened to form a "gliding suit". Wide and thin skin can effectively play a buffering role, so that flying squirrels can control airflow and glide for a short time.

The function of escaping from the ground means that flying squirrels have superb hole-making skills. They will dig hidden caves in tree trunks and rock walls, live in caves at ordinary times and sneak out for food at night. Sometimes flying mice will rob their nests, rob woodpeckers or squirrels of tree holes to make their nests.

Zombies can also swim and have the ability to fly on water. Although you can't cross rivers and lakes, ordinary streams and rivers are not a problem.

Moles run fast, too. It has four scuds and can run away in the blink of an eye.

Flying squirrels can also fly over the eaves, climb trees and climb cliffs, all of which are small Case. After all, it is like a squirrel, and its climbing ability is naturally no worse than that of a squirrel.

It is precisely because flying squirrels have five magical powers that the ancients nicknamed flying squirrels "Five Skill Rats".

Shocked! Zombie droppings are a panacea.

Friends who know something about Chinese medicine may have heard of the magical medicine: Trogopterori. You will never think that this famous medicinal material is actually the poop of flying squirrels! To be precise, Trogopterori refers to the feces of flying squirrel with compound teeth in the flying squirrel family. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that Oletum Trogopterori has the effects of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis and frying charcoal to stop bleeding. It can treat amenorrhea due to blood stasis internally and traumatic injury and snake bite externally. Compendium of Materia Medica records the medicinal methods and effects of Trogopterori. In ancient times, people didn't have the technology to raise flying squirrels, so they had to go to the wild to find their nests and pick up their droppings. Think of it this way: Trogopterori was really a valuable medicinal material in ancient times, and it was really hard to get. It's much easier now. People can already get trogopterus dung by raising flying squirrels.

By the way, flying squirrels have quietly entered the pet market in recent years, and they have a great attitude of competing with pet mice such as hamsters, squirrels and guinea pigs. Flying squirrel can't help but be naive and can fly. From this perspective, it is really competitive. Other lovely animals in the mouse family should be careful.
