The red and white giant flying squirrel (Petaurista alborufus) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family native to China and Taiwan. They spend their days sleeping in a tree hollow, emerging at night to forage in the trees. Their diet consists primarily of nuts and fruits, but also includes leafy vegetation, insects and their larvae. Like other species of flying squirrel, they can move between trees by gliding as far as 1300 feet.
