I was an avid pokemon collector back in the dizzay. You name a holograph, I had it. Charizard? Got it. Snorlax? Got it. Bulbasaur? Uh.. DUH GOT IT. However, I never got this little fella who definitely resembles a Pikachu.
I first read about the Momonga or Japanese Flying Squirrel from one of my favorite sites Cuteoverload and I knew as soon as I saw those furry faces I just had to write a post on them. Yes, you can thank me later.
Momongas are nocturnal flying squirrels that during the day rest in holes in trees to display their epic cuteness. At night they "fly" around using their special gliding membranes attached to their arms. Glides of 160 metres have been recorded. Fly my way Momonga!!!

Those are the fattest little balls of cute I've ever seen! I kind of want to see one fly.
I am now obsessed with this blog. Goodbye facebook, you do not provide me with the same furry/amazing/bizarre fun. THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!
Thank God we just have regular squirrels in the US. I would feel so terribly bad if I accidentally ran over one of these critters!
Too adorable!!!
