Sydney, 31 May, 2021: High in the Himalayan Mountains lives one of the world’s rarest mammals, the woolly flying squirrel (Eupetaurus cinereus). This beautiful squirrel is more than a 1 meter (3 feet) long, weighs 2.5 kg (5 pounds), and spends its life gliding through mountain forests. Though known to scientists for almost 130 years, it was previously thought to be a single very rare species living mostly in remote valleys in Pakistan.
