Flying Squirrel: 6 Facts About
 |
| A flying squirrel is called a tagalog in India. |
A flying squirrel is a curious little squirrel which does not really fly, but which can glide downward through the air with a movement similar to flight.
6 Facts About Flying Squirrels:
- It accomplishes "flight" by means of an extension of its fur-covered skin on each side of its body, between its fore and hind legs. The little animal runs to the top of a tree, leaps out, spreading its legs and at the same time stretching out this side skin, which resists the air like a parachute. In this position the squirrel can glide sixty feet through the air but only in a downward direction.
- These animals are nocturnal in their habits, sleeping during the day and roaming the woods for food at night.
- They feed on nuts and leaf buds, and also on the eggs of birds and even the young, when obtainable.
- The common flying squirrel of the eastern part of the United States is about five inches long, exclusive of its bushy tail.
- It has bright black eyes and soft fur, which is grayish on the upper and white on the underneath side of the body.
- The tagalog, the large flying squirrel of India, is sometimes called the flying marmot or flying cat.

The color is usually white, with black or tan markings. The fox terrier was formerly used to drive
foxes from their holes, hence the name. These dogs live about fifteen years, and their weight averages twenty pounds. The illustration is that of the more popular smooth-coated terrier; some have hair that is hard and wiry.

Fox
The fox is an animal belonging to the same family as the dog and the wolf. It is one of the smaller members of the family, and is famed for its cunning. From this trait has come the term, applied to a person, whether complimentary or otherwise, that he is "as sly as a fox." The stories told of the animal's intelligence in eluding its enemies, in protecting its young and in securing its food are sometimes so strange as to be almost beyond belief. The fox is a native of almost every part of the globe and is everywhere known as the most wily of beasts of prey.
It has a straight, bushy tail, erect ears and is extremely alert and avaricious, devouring birds and small quadrupeds, fruits, honey and eggs. The fox's home is a dry burrow or hole in the rock, and usually consists of an outer hole, or room, where the fox lies, a store room, where he keeps his food, and behind all, his sleeping room and the place where his family lives. When the fox is captured he will sometimes feign death and will endure the roughest treatment without flinching.
