How does a Flying Squirrel adapt to its environment?

It grew wing flaps so that it could make long jumps in the tree tops.

The scientific name for the groove-toothed flying squirrel is Aeretes melanopterus.  Woolly Flying Squirrel is Eupetaurus cinereus.  Siberian flying squirrel is Pteromys volans.  The Northern Flying Squirrel is Glaucomys sabrinus, and the lists go on.  Hope this helps.  :)

Squirrels gather and store nuts and they usually store them by burying them, which is why they dig.\n\nHere are a couple of good links.

They are actually increasing their range of vision by tilting their eyes toward the ground. Birds supposedly are extrasensory feelers, so they probably "sense" worms.

i did a small unit in animal behaviour and physiology and from what i remember .. birds have a much narrower vision (acuity of vision) which enables them to detect preys for examples from large distances while flying .. thats all i know, it not ... mm .. that informative.. but i hope it helped .. lol

"All other flying creeping things, which have four feet, shall be an abomination unto you."--Leviticus 11:23\n.......Ummm........ all i can think of are flying squirrels.

a bird can fly but a fly can't bird.

They have adapted to their environment.

The hummingbird will start moving backwards because the plane is accelerating and unless the bird is moving forward, the bird's inertia will have it attempting to stay in place which is moving backwards.\n\nBut if you're talking about a non-accelerating plane that is moving at a constant velocity then the bird will stay in place.

Squirrels aren't very smart.  Their instinct when they sense danger is to run to the last safe place they have been.  They just don't have the brains to figure out the which side of the road is closer or that they will get smooshed if they turn around.  They get scared, and instinct takes over.\n\nRemember, squirrels evolved over millions of years, and when been chased by a larger, faster predator, going to the nearest safe place is usually the best plan.  They have only been dealing with cars for a hundred years, and haven't updated the planbook yet.

Some of the natural resources that are shared by both squirrels and birds are the trees they both live in and the water they both drink. You've heard of a squirrels nest built in a tree and also a birds nest can be constructed in a tree as well. The water they consume could be from a nearby creek or pond, or they might rely on rainwater pooling in puddles to take a drink.

It depends on the species, but usually when the weather is warms up, or it rains or something.

Despite their size hummingbirds are fierce and fearless and will defend their food source.  \n\n*Hummers can fly backwards or upside down if they have to.\n\n*Males arrive before females in order to chose a territory\nwhich will sustain them and the new generation.\n\n*Males will often fly in a giant U shaped pattern in an attempt to attract and impress the female.\n\n*The typical lifespan for a hummingbird in the wild is 3-5 years.\n\n*Females care for the nest and the males defend the territory.\n\n*Males are polygynous - having more than one female mate.\n\n*Hummingbirds breathe 250 times per minute.\n\n*They do not migrate on the backs of geese.\n\n*The babies remain in the nest for approximately 21 days.\n\n*Insects are the hummers protein source\n\n*Leaving your feeder up does not prevent the migration of the hummingbirds.  They migrate according to the change in light.\n\n*Hummers love to bathe...put a mister in your garden to attract them.\n\n*Many North American plants depend on the hummingbirds to pollinate them.  Some exclusively..\n\n*A female can care for more than one nest at a time.\n\nHummingbirds are built for power and dazzle, hummingbirds are little more than flight muscles covered with feathers. 30% of a hummingbird's weight consists of flight muscles.\n\nHummingbirds require lots of energy. They have the fastest wing beats of any bird and their hearts beat up to 1,260 beats per minute. \n\nA Hummingbird's flight speed can average 25-30 mph, and can dive up to 60 mph. \n\nIn their non stop quest for fuel, Hummingbirds may visit 1,000 flower per day. For protein, hummingbirds eat spiders and strain gnats from mid-air. They will pull insects out of spiderwebs including the spider itself. Sapsucker holes are a double treat, netting both insects and sap! \n\nThe hummingbird's tiny brain, 4.2% of its body weight, is proportionately the largest in the bird kingdom.

They are social creatures and likely to hang out where everyone else does - like people!  They tend to gather in flocks too.  If it's near intersections my guess would be that's because it's between two clear fly zones, where there are not tall trees or buildings to get in their way as they fly.  They like to stay relatively close to the ground for warmth, water, food, action...and wires are everywhere so they are used to hanging out there.  \n\nAnother thought...People are not going to bother them or threaten them if they are sitting on electrical or telephone wires - those birds who sat there learned that, and the birds who chose the buildings and windowsills didn't fare as well.  The survivors spread the wisdom to their offspring (a Darwinian explanation, but makes sense even if you're not a Darwinian).

They are largely nomadic and have to adapt to meet their harsh environment. They are often herders whether it is reindeer or camels.

Humming bird  flies in both the directions -- backwards as well forward
