Petaurista Albonotata
Petaurista albonotata, commonly known as the white-bellied flying squirrel, is a species of flying squirrel found in the forests of Southeast Asia. This nocturnal mammal is characterized by its large eyes, soft fur, and a distinctive white belly. It has a membrane that stretches from its wrists to its ankles, allowing it to glide between trees.
These squirrels primarily feed on fruits, nuts, and leaves, playing a vital role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. Petaurista albonotata is typically found in high-altitude forests, where it nests in tree hollows, providing a safe environment for its young.
