ムササビは滑空するために手と足の間に皮膚が広がってできた飛膜を使い滑空します
風の抵抗を利用してグライダーをする 空中を滑り降りる感じ。
もし1メートルの高さから飛び降りると3メートル飛びます。 2メートルからだと6メートル飛びます。
1:3 これがムササビの滑空比です。
ムササビは日本の固有種です。九州、四国 本州にいます。
完全な樹上生活者で、冬眠はしない[2]。120メートル以上の滑空が可能で、その速度は秒速最大16メートルにもなる
ムササビは、日本では古くから狩猟の対象であった

A flying squirrel uses the flying membrane spreading between its arm and the leg in order to sail through the air.
It is just like gliding by utilizing wind resistance, or sliding down in the air.
If a flying squirrel jumps from the position whose height is 1m, then it glides 3m. From 2m height, it sails 6m.
1:3 is the gliding ratio of a flying squirrel.
A flying squirrel is one of the unique species in Japan. They live in Kyushu, Shikoku and the Main island.
It lives completely on the tree, and does not hole up in winter.[2] It can glide up to 120m, and the maximum speed of gliding is up to 16m per a second.
A flying squirrel has been a target of hunting for a long time in Japan.

In order to giant flying squirrels to glide they use their patagium, which is skin stretched between the gap between their hands and their legs, that they can spread wide.
Using wind resistance gliders can have the sensation of slipping through the air.
When the glider decreases in the altitude 1 meter, they will fly fly for 3 meters. So if the decrease of altitude is 2 meters, they will fly 6 meters. This is compared to the 1:3 ratio of the gliding of the giant flying squirrel.
The giant flying squirrel is a species native to Japan. They can be found in Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu.
They dwell in tree tops and do not hibernate. They can glide for 120 meters, reaching maximum speeds of up to 16 meters per second.
Giant flying squirrels have been a target of poachers in Japan for a long time.
