The noble giant flying squirrel is a large rodent from the squirrel family. This nocturnal animal lives in trees in mountain forests and can glide between them over long distances.
The noble giant flying squirrel differs from other flying squirrels by its very large size and its ability to glide long distances. It is important for the forest because it spreads tree seeds.
