This squirrel is posed in a remarkably similar way to the one from yesterday!
And though you may not realise it, I did not, these flying squirrels are very unlikely to be seen out in the daytime, as Allen & Ginter seemed to think, they are nocturnal, sleeping through the day and waking at night. In that way they also escape many of the daytime predators who would hunt them down.
Yet our grey and red squirrels are the opposite, they are out all day and disappear once night time falls.
Now there is a rudimentary list of these cards, supplied by the reader who wanted to show the similarity in the poses. It is not yet complete, but maybe that is where you can help.
