## Caption

I believe I can fly 🪽

Although technically they aren’t capable of true flight, Siberian flying squirrels can glide up to an impressive 50m through the air! They have a stretchy membrane between their front and back legs that act as ‘wings’ that allow them to glide from tree to tree.

Born to survive. Built to thrive. #Mammals
