"By spreading this membrane the flying squirrel may glide from tree to tree across distances of over a hundred meters, and have been known to record a glide ratio of 3.31, but is normally 1-1.5.[2]"
It would have been better if the postcards didn't have the basically identical, enlarged image of each matching stamp. Viva variety, you National Postal Administrations! :)

That's a rather strange animal, never heard of a flying squirrel, lol !
I always thought flying squirrels were tropical so I've just looked them up. It's amazing, to me, how many different species there are.
To see them fly from tree to tree is an amazing sight. (Unfortunately I've only seen this on film). You'll have to explain to the postal admin about how to produce a Maximum card:-)
Flying squirrels ... sometimes i think the squirrels in my neighborhood have a little of the flying ability... fascinating critters... happy pff (I'm with Joy ...)
Interesting creatures. I don't like city squirrels - just rats with fluffy tails.
We don't have any flying squirrels here but we have squirrels of all colors - brown, gray and black. Had never seen a black one until we moved to Michigan. Such determined little creatures!
