Rare Flying Squirrel footage captured in Sarnia

Watch these nocturnal acrobats compete for the ultimate prize: a seed- and peanut butter-filled suet log! Flying squirrels, often mistaken for regular squirrels, are actually a marvel of nature. Using their unique patagium—a flap of skin between their limbs—they glide gracefully between trees, often travelling over 100 feet in a single leap. These incredible creatures play a vital role in forest ecosystems, dispersing seeds and fungi that support healthy woodlands. Witness their agility and determination in this friendly food face-off!
