Humboldt’s Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis), like other flying squirrels, is equipped with a thin membrane on both sides of its body that allows it to escape sticky-icky situations by leaping from the trees and soaring to safety. It can be found gliding through the fog from stems to leaves, scoring the berries, bugs, and buds upon which it feeds. Being nocturnal in nature, Humboldt’s Flying Squirrel spends the daylight hours holed up in dank caves lined with lichen. As photos of this elusive but beautiful creature are still in short supply, we have taken the liberty to illustrate Glaucomys oregonensis exhibiting what we expect to be its natural behavior, though some speculation has occurred. Then again, that’s science. * * * [Issue 155](/store/issue-155-halsey) $15.95 The Aftershock Issue: New America Outside Cover: Select Outside Cover HALSEY B&WHALSEY PINKRILEY KEOUGHCAMILA CABELLOJENNY SABIN HALSEY B&W HALSEY PINK RILEY KEOUGH CAMILA CABELLO JENNY SABIN Add To Cart document.querySelector('.product-block .product-block').classList.add('is-first-product-block');
