These adorable animals have large eyes, soft fur, and a special membrane called a patagium that allows them to glide between trees. They can be found in North America, particularly in the forests of the United States and Canada. Their unique ability to soar from tree to tree makes them stand out among other squirrel species.  \nWhat do these fascinating creatures eat, you ask? Northern flying squirrels mainly munch on nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects. They also enjoy fungi, which is important for the health of the forests they live in. These squirrels play a key role in spreading fungi spores, helping the growth of new plants and trees.  \nThe life cycle of the northern flying squirrel is quite interesting. Mating season occurs in the spring, and females typically give birth to two or three babies, called kits. The kits are born hairless and helpless, but after just a few months, they grow up and become strong enough to glide on their own. Northern flying squirrels can live up to six years in the wild.  \nNorthern flying squirrels have interesting relationships with both humans and other animals. Some people might see them as pests, but they generally do not cause harm to humans. In the forest, they have various predators, including owls, hawks, and raccoons. Their ability to glide helps them escape from these predators and maintain a healthy balance in their ecosystem.  \nThere are some cool facts and differences between northern flying squirrels and other squirrel species. For example, flying squirrels are nocturnal, which means they are most active at night. This is unlike most squirrels, which are active during the day. Another interesting fact is that northern flying squirrels can glide up to 150 feet in just one jump!  \nNorthern Flying Squirrel  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the special membrane called that allows northern flying squirrels to glide?\u003Cbr>A.
