Shiyan Radio and Television News (All-media reporter Peng Tao correspondent Ren Pengfei) On the morning of May 3, two small elves in the stone hall of the Nanyan Palace in Wudang Mountain caused tourists to exclaim. It turned out that two Wudang flying squirrels had emerged from behind the Tianyi Zhenqing Palace plaque, one looking left and right on the stone beam, and the other seemed to be a little shy, probing the brain behind the plaque. According to the staff, the two flying squirrels have been making their home here for many years, having seen them many times in the past during night surveillance, and they usually do not appear during the day. It's been hot these days, and maybe they're out to breathe. Sure enough, after observing for a moment, the flying squirrel leaped forward and glided lightly from the stone hall to the bottom of the cliff and disappeared.

The squirrel, also known as the flying squirrel or flying tiger, because of its red and white coat color, also known as the red and white squirrel, is a collective name for the species of the next family of scaly-tailed squirrels, known as the Pteromyini family. There are 34 species in 13 genera and 16 species in China, of which 3 species are specially produced in China: the compound-toothed shrew, the groove-toothed shrew and the low-foaming flying squirrel. Most of this animal species are found in tropical and subtropical forests in southeastern Asia, with only a few distributed in temperate and cold temperate forests of northern Eurasia and North America. There are also flying squirrels in the mountains south of Qinling Mountains in China, and many caves and temples on Wudang Mountain are found from time to time.
Their flying membranes can help them glide quickly among trees, but since they do not have organs like birds that can produce lift, squirrels can only glide in the middle of trees and land. Because it is easy to domesticate, it is often used as a small pet that understands humanity. In addition, squirrels do not belong to squirrels and are small animals of the suborder Scaly-tailed Squirrels.
