I have had that experience. I was once standing between a building with a high gabled roof and a large oak tree. There were many flying squirrels soaring about. One launched from the house to the oak tree. It glanced off my head on its way. It felt like I was slapped on the top of my head with a piece of soft flannel.
These guys also absolutely adore suet. If you live in or close to an area that has lots of large, old trees, and you put out suet cakes for the birds, the chances are pretty good that you’ll have flying squirrels paying a visit after dark as well.
Years ago in Minnesota, we had a little bin on a tree with nuts... lots of trees... We would watch them fly in for it... Very very quick flights... They would hit the tree, scamper down, and scoot up the tree quickly... You could even hear their chatter, although it was faint and high pitch like a bat... Cool little creatures.
We had a family of these in an oak patch in our backyard. We would see them swooping, tree to tree, when were on our back patio after dark. They seemed very curious.
Awww, I love flying squirrels, they are so amazing and super cute! I don't know why but I have this magic feeling tingling inside of me that someday I will meet a magical electric flying squirrel....*sight* 😏💕

I stayed a weekend on an island in Lake George NY, and the island is full of these things. The best part is, they just fly down off the trees onto people. I was sitting talking to my friends when one landed right on my back
I live in MA, which I understand to be the southernmost extent of the flying squirrel's habitat, so I was very surprised to see one. I have lots of live-catch traps for mice, moles, & chipmunks, but one night I caught a flying squirrel. I was impressed with the size of its eyes, and that you can in fact see the cartilage "wing tip" mentioned in the video quite prominently. There must have been a period of time with distinct evolutionary pressure that forced squirrels to touch the ground as little as possible - like, squirrels had to be consistently dying to predators for traits like this to be the difference between life and death (in fact, the pre-formed predecessors of evolved traits like this). I had a laugh that I caught that flying squirrel in my trap under a bridge, and that he was a bad squirrel 'cause he was on the ground, but I let him go exactly where he got trapped and he never got caught again. Very neat - glad I could check one out up close for a few minutes.
I'd give my tooth and nail to be born with a meat suit like that. I'd never get anything done because I'd just be jumping throughout the trees constantly.
Awesome! There is a feeder cam that I visit, and the squirrels fly to the feeders. I just discovered that...I was told to check them out at night. They stop by at around 2 to 4 AM.
Also: These guys technically don’t fly, they glide. Flying involves actively keeping yourself in the air for an extended period of time. If you open your wings, jump, and land wherever you get in one go, that’s gliding.
My mother and I were at a public event with trees, dogs, and a remote-controlled drone, and I had to explain to her that I didn’t think the dogs would mistake the drone for a flying squirrel. I didn’t know that the flying squirrel was nocturnal, but I knew that they could not hover. In short, the drone looked like a flying squirrel but did not move like one.

You don't have to ask me twice. Lol!!! I just took this awesome test and I'd be a flying squirrel.
These squirrel is the batman of the night forest
That's right ,it was engineered , by the creator.
Flying squirrels
Flying squirrel
Imagine walking around at night and get hit in the face by a flying washcloth
LMAOOOOOOO
But then you could grab it and kiss it's meaty belly. That's cool.
Its not also so random as it is endanger

Falling with style
The narrator saying “it flys” about the 24 25 second range gave me goosebumps
Last night of these these came beaming past my stepson head and landed on the tree about 2 feet away from him, spooked the daylights out that boy lol
Lol I don’t blame him if I saw such a thing I’d be startled too. It’s cool he got to see one flying in action
They're like base jumpers 😄

Wonder howlong it took for them to get that perfect angle/shot 😂
What is the show name

The squirrel flying in the night looks like a superman
Batman
More like Batman
To me, It's Splendid from Happy Tree Friends!
It's true
Waaaw
*_I love these little guys 😊_*
That looks like a CGI. Can't believe it's real. Nature has so many surprises.
Its cool to watch the "Ninja" of the rodent family.
I can’t help but think of Rocky and Bullwinkle.
"Hey Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!"
"Oh Bullwinkle, not that trick again! That never works!"
🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
This made my day.
TRUE
I hope I reincarnate as one of these one day. Imagine having a natural wingsuit and being able to glide. Plus they are able to climb with ease
It's Rocky!
Its great ..... fabulous seen of nature
🐿🐿🐿
Im vengeance!

When it flys you'll hear it make *"REEEEEEEEEE"*
quite a marvelous example of intelligent design!
Squirrels are the best animal

If one can be persuaded to land in your hands, if you are holding a nut there, I will really be impressed.
that would scare the shit out of me lol
Wow. Breath taken away.
These things are a great introduction to the field of bionics.
I wish I could upload pictures but I feed roughly 20 of these guys nightly and they are truly a blessing to me ❤️
IT'S REMINDS ME OF ROCKY'S THE FLYING SQUIRREL

0:54 imagine we had creatures like that but much bigger... that would be something of a Gozilla movie lol
Yougonasorry's channel imagine one the size of an eagle
“Hey do you hear that?”
“Hear what.”
“It’s like a whooshing sou- AAAAAAHH”
I'm glad this little booger isn't an apex predator. That would make for a horrifyingly hilarious chase scene.

We have these in New Jersey. They are smaller than gray squirrels and you can see them at dusk.
Very interesting. Thank you.

Flying squirrels used to eat out of our bird feeders at night in Washington state.
Awesome! There is a feeder cam that I visit, and the squirrels fly to the feeders. I just discovered that...I was told to check them out at night. They stop by at around 2 to 4 AM.
Wow
That is just to funny, the flying squirrels...😂🤣😆😀🐿️🐿️🌲🍁🍂🌕🏞️

Looks just like the shape of wingsuits

If you were born a squirrel, but not a flying squirrel, you got shafted.

Hihetetlen az ugrás végrehajtása ettől a kisállattól. Tökéletes.
Wow,i love the angle of camera your taking shot..
hello battlefield
I think is my new favourite animal😊😊
"EVOLVED" 🙄😣😏🥱
Control flying tarps & breaking hearts 🥰 I think they can work as apartment pets.
That's so awesome

"It can torpedo it's enemies" haha nahh imagine?! Like Rayden😆
yo i just saw one of these at night. cool af
I didn’t even know that they existed!
So - no one is gonna talk about Momo’s special appearance on PBS?
Rep Samurai Champloo, baby. 👌🏻
Hey masallah. Rabbım ne guzel yaratmıs.
Back around 1876 watching these Squirrels gave me the idea, to build a flying Wingsuit. Too bad I never did anything with that.
It wasn't Batman. It was Flying-Squirrel Man.
Imagine a cyclist cycling through the woods, then gets hit in the face
Cyclist: "hey, who threw that cloth at me?"
My mom found one of these six years ago it was cute
It is look like a splendid
Nice
very good video

Do you know what would be perfect?
When the squirrel was flying, they should put the THEME SONG to Batman:
DU NU NU NU NU NU NU NU BATMAAAAAN!!!!!
Why tf is the squirrel gliding in slow motion so funny to me
It's like Batman if he turned into a adorable woodland creature
Amazing
super
Hey, Rocky! Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
Before jumpsuit was invented, there were flying squirrels
i thought wing suites are a humans idea
It's the opposite.
Humans are the wingsuits idea. Hmm haven't thought of that before.
Evos lmao
Cool 😎
1:20 jams start playing
Na na na na na na na na BATSQUIRREL!!!
This is where wingsuit came from
