Can’t disagree with that!

A fashionista! Run, Kate! Before it criticises your attire! (Or stay and befriend them. Either way’s good.)

That’s a preppy color combo. Who knew flying squirrels were?

There are many animate and inanimate things that look very different when illuminated by a black light. It’s like living in an entirely different world.

with the longer nights I get to see our flying squirrels before bed and when I get up in the morning. They love the peanuts we put out.

That’s a pretty cute squirrel.

this story arc is just bats to me

Once again, I have learned something new on GC.

And why not?

What a cutie! Beautiful eyes.

I love squirrels and I love pink.

When I was a docent at the Bronx Zoo, they had a flying squirrel. I forget if it was in the nocturnal animal or small mammal house. At least they thought they did. After it was put in the enclosure, no-one ever saw it again. The food disappeared but it’s actual presence was just an assumption.

Cool. And I had to go look it up: Blog.Nature.Org/2021/04/05/when-mammals-glow-in-the-dark/

This is definitely the most educating comic strip, especially for zoology!

If I remember right I believe their glow was discovered by accident in a scenario much like this :]

Thanks – I didn’t know that. I’ve never even seen a flying squirrel in nature. I know they live in this area, but I suspect they mostly stay up in the high canopy, well out of sight.

I like that squirrel! I’ll have to introduce him/her to Ralph!

I once had a flying squirrel in my house. It was a surprise. Petey [RIP] was fascinated with my wool clogs at the front door. I looked to see what he was concerned about, and a small flying squirrel came out. I trapped him with a tea towel and released him out the back door. He flew out to the pine tree and disappeared.

I do like pink and gray together.

So adorable!
