Holy cow. Did you know that there was such a thing as flying squid!? Like flying fish, but jet-propelled. Wow! So cool!

On the subject of flying things, you should be aware of the existence of mususabi, the Japanese flying squirrel, also known as momonga. Noteworthy because of its deadly cuteness.

Nature rawks.

Wow, that is cute.

I once had a great conversation about evolution of flying behaviour in squirrels, but it didn't include "and, did you know they're amazingly cute"? Hmm.

So cute!

At last, the obscured origins of Sanrio products!

There is a scary squirrel in my neighborhood that always comes out and CHASES me when I'm working in the yard. Once he ran up the stairs and blocked the entrance to my house.

Someone's probably been feeding it. Unnatural behavior for a squirrel.

The flying squid are nifty! The squirrel is cute, but not nearly so intriguing as the squid.

Kawaii desu ne!

Actually, the flying squirrel with the Japanese flag is a pretty awesome icon.

Oh my God. Something in me just exploded from the overwhelming cuteness. Almost equally cute is the mangled English poetry caption:
His head sticking out of the YACHIDAMO-tree,
he wants to say something.
But he has no way to express himself.
If they could talk, we would have another wonderful world.
