A squirrel with your kilt?

Here is Elvis, one of our pets, checking out a kilt. He is an 8-year-old glaucomys volans (Southern Flying Squirrel)

He can easily glide over 100 feet, and he can scramble up your kilt or down your shirt before you realize what's going on. He is a fast little fellow. They were popular pets with school children in colonial New England during the 1700's.

Well there's an accessory I don't have, never seen that before! He's very cute.

We had a pet squirrel when I was a kid as well. Non airborne unit though.

Elvis is alive and well

I knew it all the time! Great picture and a really cute little friend.

I have always loved flying squirrels, ever since I heard about them in grade school. It would be fun to have one as a pet, though my wife would not want it, but my dog and cat may!

Great shot! Beautiful animal!
