The Namdapha flying squirrel is an arboreal, nocturnal flying squirrel endemic to India. It was the sole member in the genus ''Biswamoyopterus'' until the description of the Laotian giant flying squirrel in 2013. First collected in Deban , no population estimates are available for ''B. biswasi'', but the known habitat is tall Mesua ferrea jungles, often on hill slopes in the catchment area of Na Dihing river in North eastern India .

The animal was rescued in Darjeeling, India, and was being checked for injuries and hence the cage. Within 20 minutes of this pic , the animal was released in wild.The cuteness is the use of its tail to save it from cold. Posted 11 years ago
Firstly - great pictures and camera work. Particularly on critically endangered species. Its a great way to bring awareness of how much beauty may soon be lost for ever, and what we as a selfish species yet also the one in the best position to prevent extinction of such critically endangered animals can do.
I am Tyag from the Blue Cross Of India - Chennai. You may be aware that we are arguably one of India's leading Animal Welfare Organisations.
I would like to use one of your pictures for the Blue Cross calendar and wanted to write to seek permission to do so. Could you please provide me your email Id or reply to tyag@bluecrossofindia.org
Thanks and keep up the great work on bringing awareness.
