Omg that poor Octopus, never had the chance to fly :( also give that composer/musician a raise because those musical stings are literally perfect.

[@friedeggs2865]

Octopus? Whaaaaaa?

[@miguellilly8859]

Squids can tho

[@sergeant_chris6209]

The truth is, the game was rigged from the start

[@martlettoo]

But there are flying squid!

[@artsy_dragon_creations]

I absolutely love flying squirrels, and this video just made me feel like a kid again looking at all the awesome species and features of these amazing creatures

[@morikokobayashi]

Ooooh that's huge and big I only thought there was only 1 species of Flying Squirrel

[@AgustinRodriguezbravo]

There is a specie of snake that can "fly" too, I don't remember the name but you should show one of them on this video, you know, to have all the flying animals, great video :)

[@kxppachu5635]

Wow! These are so interesting! Tysm for your consistent-ish amazing content. I always learn so much watching your videos! ❤

[@Grobohalic]

The music reminds me of the educational segments on Mr. Rogers. And that is the highest of compliments.

[@sarahclapp505]

Thank you I would never see these specimens in my life thank you very much

[@anandnagarkatti]

[@TheToneBender]

What if octopuses fly like helicopters? By spinning their tentacles around?

[@lolnowwut69]

[@chemieju6305]

[@williampeterson4823]

I can’t wait till he posts more

[@marionschneider4555]

Really nice video of those beautiful animals. Do you posses by any chance a Colugo giant glider in your collection? It is my favorite gliding animal because it is considered as Euarchontoglires, which makes it to a distinct relative of us humans. So technical not a Squirrel but also very big and a beautiful potagium in those animals.

[@mostazaanimations4202]

2:19 that's not a squirrel, that's a baby viper Tobi-Kadachi

[@drau.2764]

does it can paralyze you?

[@martlettoo]

You need a flying squid! They're amazing!

[@katichu3911]

Now I'm thinking about Octopi swimming gracefully through the air. At first I thought it would be creepy, but it's actually really cool!

[@cheesenutz7182]

This guy makes a good video that made me more intrested than teachers projector presentation

[@pacer6694]

Best channel on KZbin now

[@zigmenthotep]

Oh hey, here's a video about the world's largest flying squire... ha gotcha, it's actually a brief overview of gliding animals and also now you know the word "Patagium."

[@r.g.g.g.951]

Never knew you had a different channel before this, stumbled upon the giant tadpole video, and immediately recognized your voice

[@louspowels7120]

imagine an alternate universe, some giant is picking different humans out of sealed jars.

[@Philsardenola]

[@SimpleIdeaz]

Love the Mr Roger's esc background music

[@martlettoo]

I wonder, is there a reason India seems to have all of the largest squirrels?

[@toivivanfessem221]

Sir, the last one is a flying rabbit. That doesn’t count as a squirrel no more

[@redscorpion9411]

Fun fact, the red giant flying squirrel can have a wingspan of over THREE FEET! No wonder it couldn’t be stored with its arms open!

[@flameguy3416]

Octopuses don't fly ;(

[@red_ruby4881]

Petition to use Waldo figurines as a standard measuring unit

[@raquelelliott1779]

Do you have Australian Gliders? Like the smallest being the feathertail glider up to the biggest being the greater glider 🙂

[@isiahjohnson5418]

Me after every flying squirrel he shown: NOPE 😂

[@septriyanaputra6269]

Have you heard colugo or sunda flying lemur? Witch one is bigger? Compared to giant flying squirrel? Momo in avatar the legend of ang also inspired from colugo

[@mimp8365]

Did I misunderstand or do bats have Patagium(s?) as well and can actually fly?

[@jostromp7380]

You should have said, there is an even larger flying squirrel, and then jumpscare us by jumping in front of the camera 😂

[@mokyDB]

last one could flap its patagiums and fly like a bird

[@toivivanfessem221]

I FOUND HIM, WALDOOOOO I FOUND WALDOOOO

[@TheTwistedTraceur]

[@gooshnpupp]

This video made me want a patagium😔

[@nanaplayz_]

The 2nd squirrel is from Thailand and I saw it today.

[@sandis550]

For some reason, when i tried to look on youtube for videos of the biggest flying squirrels actually flying, they all call it "red and white giant flying squirrel" and not "red giant flying squirrel" 🤔

[@teacexsss]

The color of the Taiwan flying squirrel is brown, and the head part of the other type is white and the body is brown.

[@guy-]

Yea I think that's a squirrel, I agree
