Japanese Dwarf Flying Squirrel Compilation

- The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel (Pteromys momonga; Japanese: ???????; Hepburn: Nihon momonga) is one of two species of Old World flying squirrels.
It is native to Japan where it inhabits sub-alpine forests and boreal evergreen forests on Honshu and Kyushu islands.
It grows to a length of 20 cm (8 in) and has a membrane connecting its wrists and ankles which enables it to glide from tree to tree. During the day this squirrel hides in a hole, usually in a coniferous tree, emerging at night to feed on buds, leaves, bark, fruits and seeds. This squirrel faces no particular threats, has a wide range and is relatively common, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature lists it as a "least-concern species".
The Japanese dwarf flying squirrel is nocturnal, and during the day it rests in holes in trees. It eats seeds, fruit, tree leaves, buds and bark. It can leap from tree to tree using a gliding membrane called its patagium. The patagium works as a wingsuit enabling it to maneuver and glide through the air.
When it feeds, the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel assumes a hanging posture. It will pull a twig to its mouth with its forepaws if the twig is not strong enough to support its weight and obtain food at the tip.
While picking up food scattered on the ground, it will extend its body in an intermediate range around its body without moving its hind legs.
Multiple individuals of this species can be found grouped together on a single tree, however usually these individuals tend to be of the same sex when it is not mating season. Mating nests are usually shared by one breeding pair.
Japanese dwarf flying squirrels have evolved differently from other Sciuridae. The differences between Japanese dwarf flying squirrels and other Sciuridae is evident when comparing morphology of the mandible and genetic code. The mandible of the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel does not have a coronoid process unlike the American dwarf squirrels (Microsciurus). The marmots (Marmota) also have a more elongated mandible than the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel. This is due to phylogeny and ecology.There are also large differences in chromosome structure between P. momonga and the only other member of the Pteromys genus, Pteromys volans. Though they have the same number of chromosomes (2n=38), their karyotypes differ extensively due to pericentric inversions, tandem fusions, and deletion of large segments of the autosomes and the Y chromosome. Because of these deletions, the P. volans genome contains about fifteen percent less DNA than P. momonga. These findings suggest that the karyotype of P. momonga more closely resembles the ancestor of P. volans and P. momonga.

America “ I wonder why Japan are obsessed with small things with huge eyes”
Japanese flying squirrel “ so ... ima just
.... slide on in”
Amy The 4 we have em in America I have one as a pet lol
@@BobSmith-jf6qr , they are not native to America, lol. You probably have a sugar glider which is not even a rodent but a marsupial, hence it has only half of the cuteness.
Oh, I completely understand and condone Japanese people's obsession with cuteness.
@@sendmorerum8241 Per the National WIldlife Federation - "Northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus) and southern flying squirrels (Glaucomys volans) are the only two native flying squirrel species found in North America." They are NOT sugar gliders. They are a bit larger than the Japanese Dwarf and tend more to the gray/brown color.
Umm... it didn’t fly... like not even once.
How can it be so cute?
Look at their big, sparkling eyes
Cuteness overload
No cap
@@Tiko-ve8ef my device detected a translation possiblity because it thought "cap" was foreign. So i taped on "translate" and it translated to "Not at all" I can make it "no cap" to "Not at all" lmaooo
@@DarkWinterZ I got it doesn’t fit😳

Siberian flying squirrel = Finland to Siberia, Primorsky Krai, northern China, Korean Peninsula, Sakhalin, Hokkaido
Ezo momonga Inhabiting area= Hokkaido in Japan
Mikiko Kaminaka THANK YOU! I hate that everyone refers to this as a Japanese dwarf flying squirrel when it’s in fact a Siberian flying squirrel.
The fabled Japanese flying floof
This explains anime, Pokémon and well... I'm going to settle in here.
the second i saw em' i died from a cuteness overLOAD (screeching they were "so cute!!" was part of it)
Dislikes? Like seriously? It is the most beautiful and cute thing ever existed on this planet!!💞
No dislikes
These animals don’t even look real omg they are so cute!! I’m in love 😍
if i’m not a Japanese squirrel when i grow up then i’m not becoming an adult
What has quarantine done to you
At first, I legit thought that these were stuffed animals that people put in trees.
Had to see a video to believe they were real.
I want 10! ^_^
Momonga!
Absolutely !
ezo momoga
Did you know that the Pokemon Emolga is based on this exact squirrel? It's my favourite Pokemon
Never in my life I needed more then this without me nowing
The white flying squirrel looks like a baby rabbit
This is the creature that inspred emolga from the pokemon series which I think, Emolga is actually from hoenn.🐭
American : why do Japanese anime character have huge eyes?
Japanese squirrels : ima gonna explain why
Amazing cuteness made me speechless
Lol....those adorable, gigantic eyes!! Too cute! ❤
australia : everything want your death
canada : everything is friendly except goose
japan : everything is cute
These guys are wanted for murder. They just killed me with cuteness overload.
Su belleza es indescriptible son demasiado tiernas😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 morire de ternura
Absolutely adorable 😊💕🐿
I want to squeeze them !!!!! 😅😂 Cuteness overload
Why they be looking like sugar gliders tho? SO ADORABLEEE
Ahhhh I wanna squeeze them like sponge
Cutest balls of fluff
Everything in Japan is cute
So fluffy and round!
If dying of cuteness was possible, I would die of cuteness
surely the cutest animal ever seen
I encourage people in this comment section who think that only Japan gets the “cute and exotic” animals to look up just how many types of flying squirrel there are. :) While I can indefinitely say there is nothing quite as chubby and adorable as the Japanese Dwarf Flyer, I can indefinitely say that North America has both the Northern and Southern flying squirrel! They’re actually seen as pests in some areas, chewing up the insides of roofs in groups up to 60 in some cases, lmao. They’re very small and nocturnal, so most will go their entire lives without seeing one. :0
You might just be closer to a flyer than you think, ESPECIALLY if you live in the rural US!
So so so so so so so so so cute
I want to live in japan now- aaahhhh *nose bleeds* its so cute >w
Its so smol and fluffy I’m going to die ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Awwwww.... So cute
it’s so cute!
The people who dislikes this video is just angry because its in Japan
I want one! It's too Cute!
So cute🥰
This is by far the best video on TH-cam and I will die with that statement
Omg 4:17 Squirrel cross-stitching contest hahahaha
I love the comments on how cute all Japanese animals must be and while not wrong... while I lived there I got a much better understanding of Pokemon as their crows pecked my knees from the ground and their love of fighting bugs cause those Jade beetles would give credit to a flesh eating locust storm, giant dragonflies and those crazy jumping fish... That said they were all pretty nifty and cute to be fair, but these break the bar of extreme cuteness.
OMG THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!!!
So cute.
Cuteness Level over 9000
So cute I love all the kind of squirrels
Emolga
1:32 that’s cutenesses omg it has the biggest eyes
Everybody else: Aww so cuuuute
Me: Where's my *_flying_* squirrel?
ただひたすら美しい🌟
ありがとう💖
thank u for the serotonin
It's like a chinchilla and a rabbit in one and I love it
That squirrel is so cute
These little cuties are the inspiration for the Pokémon, Emolga.
THAT IS THE CUTEST ANIMAL IN THE ENTIRE WORLD
Such cuteness should be illegal.
Awwww i love them 😍
Why can't america's squirrels be this cute?
We actually have flying squirrels in the US!
Look up the Northern flying squirrel or the Southern flying squirrel. :) They’re really small and completely nocturnal, so while we have quite a few of them most never really get to see them!
They are.
Kawaii 🥺🥺🥺
save me my heart is melting
I will save it (plucs out heart) it seems good to me
سبحان الله من الطف الحيوانات جممميل جدا 😍
So cute 🥹
How come there not flying
They do, you can search photos of them flying ^^ it's just not in this video :D
Tree hamsters. Cool
1:16 those two fighting who gets to sit on the tiny stick. XD
2:38 It’s interesting how the design of their fur makes it so they appear skinnier lol, but they’re so chubby! Is that to keep predators away? Lol.
5:06 so cute!!
This music was so epic for this simple cuteness lol - made me get a little emotional. XD
Is emolga
the cutest squirrel doesn't exist
I bet those eyes can literally look a 360 angle
Damnit,Japan got the good animals when me in the UK sees a boring gray squirrel everyday
So damn adorable. I see some were in an enclosure I hope they were at a zoo, and not being kept as pets.
Super kawaii (❤️-❤️)
