Agile and surprising, the flying squirrel is a small nocturnal rodent that inhabits the forests of America, Europe, and Asia. Contrary to what its name suggests, it doesn't truly fly, but glides thanks to a membrane of skin called a patagium, stretched between its legs.
Amazingly, it can travel up to 50 meters in a single leap, using its tail as a rudder to steer and land smoothly. Nocturnal, it moves silently from tree to tree in search of seeds, fruit, and insects. Its arboreal lifestyle and elusive nature make it a fascinating animal, rarely seen in the wild.
This Papo figurine realistically depicts a flying squirrel: extended membrane, detailed fur, and dynamic pose. An ideal model to enrich a collection of wild animals, invent aerial stories, or introduce children to the incredible adaptations of forest wildlife.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
