Primorye Week: Siberian Flying Squirrel (Pteromys volans)
Siberian flying squirrel by Coco, age 12
Number 0392
This week, we’re looking at a few mammals from Primorye, a region in the far east of Russia that you can learn a bit more about in my post for Monday’s musk deer. For today, Coco and I drew Siberian flying squirrels. They are quite common throughout the forests of northern Europe and Asia, where they glide through the treetops by night, snacking on seeds, leaves, buds, and catkins, which are downy, flowering spikes on some trees. An idyllic lifestyle to be sure, a lifestyle from a magical story.
Wow! TWO amazing drawings today! You both did a fantastic job!
Thanks daddy!:]
