Regardless of their name, Flying Squirrels cannot fly. If they could, they would probably be called bats. If you listened to our last episode, the theme of the last two weeks might be obvious. Think old school cartoons involving Moose and Squirrel. First we've got some advice and how to be a better human. Number one, don’t liter. There is nothing worse then watching the snow melt in Spring to reveal all the trash people have thrown out their car windows. Number two, don't drink alkaline water. “Real” water or alkaline water is a useless fad. Even if it could change the pH of your body, you really don't want it to. Flying squirrels are a group of 50 species in the family Sciuridae. Flying squirrels can be larger than a house cat, or smaller than a brown rat. Only two species are native to North America, the northern flying squirrels and southern flying squirrels, both of which are small. If you travel to Japan, you’ll find the Japanese giant flying squirrel, which is one of the largest, and the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel, which is one of the smallest. Fly squirrels can’t fly like birds or bats but are able to glide from one tree to another. They’re similar to squirrels, but cooler. Flying squirrels steer and control their glide path with their limbs and tail. They are very adapt at “flying” aka gliding, but are actually clumsy when moving on their feet. Listen now to learn how Flying Squirrels are better than human.
