Japanese giant flying squirrel (Petaurista leucogenys)

Wow! What a stunning species, reminds me of a Yellow-bellied/Greater Glider.

I can totally see that!! If only it actually was a Greater Glider! That's one of my great regrets! Didn't show for me at David Fleay Wildlife Park, but I didn't wait very long since I thought I could see it at other locations on that trip. I also did have a plane to catch. That was 2007...11 Years later and still no Greater Gliders...

@Giant Eland Well I have been to Fleay's a few times, and I think I have only seen Greater Glider once there. Quite the elusive species.

@WhistlingKite24 my cousin was living in Brisbane for a year and went back for me and took a photo...but it's not quite the same haha

How can you see the species up close? Is it in a show or sth.?

This was behind the scenes. I messaged the owner ahead of time.

I didn't know they let you go there!
