  2. Interesting! I didn't know China had flying mammals like that. In Australia we have smaller marsupial ones, called 'sugar gliders' (so called because they eat nectar and flowers and other sweet stuff, as well as insects). They score very high in the cute factor...

    1. How can anything called a "Sugar Glider" not be adorable? :)

  3. Just saw something similar here in Georgia! Don't know if it's a giant, although yes, it was rather large! but the coloring was just like this!
