This nocturnal wide-eyed Flying-squirrel puppet is designed in ultra-soft plush in his flying position, allowing the puppeteer's hand to glide this adorable creature along.
Movable front paws and tail
2007 IParenting Media Greatest Product Award.Fun Facts:- There are forty-two species of flying squirrel, found mostly in Asia and Europe, with two species in North America.
- Flying squirrels do not really fly, but glide after leaping from trees, usually for 20 to 75 feet, but sometimes as much as 150 feet.
- Flying squirrels steer by tightening and loosening the furred flaps of skin that stretch from their front wrists to their back feet.
- Flying squirrels are nocturnal. Their big eyes are well adapted to night vision. One of the favorite foods these omnivores search for in the dark is the truffle, a mushroom delicacy.

I have lived in an old cedar forest for ten years watching flying squirrels glide between the trees. When I ordered this puppet for our new baby, I was amazed at how realistic the design of this puppet was to the real thing, from the color of its coat to the hands, feet and big nocturnal eyes. It is very nicely put together and clearly a quality toy.
Surprisingly realistic,

I bought several of these little guys for a film project at school and was astonished by how realistic they look -- and I should know, as I have a pair of flying squirrels as pets. Especially surprising was the cost - they were far less expensive than a similar product that didn't appear nearly so true to life.
Soft & Sweet!,

This little puppet is too cute! Bought it for my new baby, to entertain him without television, bright flashy toys, or other distracting things that don't facilitate bonding. This allows me to be his source of entertainment, and we both love that! It's very soft, seems durable, and looks realistic. A great toy!
