Meet Moonbeam, the Cedar Kite. She is a Japanese dwarf flying squirrel, and she is real. Her kind lives only in Japan, on the islands of Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu, in mountain forests and in the planted cedar and cypress forests beside them. Her body is about as long as a grown-up's hand, 14 to 20 centimeters (5.5 to 8 inches), and her flat tail is about two-thirds as long. She is about as heavy as a small apple, 100 to 173 grams (3.5 to 6 ounces). Her back is soft grey-brown, her belly and cheeks are pale, and her eyes are big and round. She has no wings. A fold of furry skin stretches from her wrists to her ankles, and when she leaps and spreads her legs, the skin catches the air and she glides from tree to tree. Her close cousin, the Ezo flying squirrel of Hokkaido, has been measured gliding as far as about 50 meters (160 feet), about half a football field. Nobody has measured the glide of Moonbeam's own kind yet. She comes out after sunset and rests in a tree hollow by day. She cannot dig a home of her own, so she uses hollows that old trees already have, and nest boxes that people hang in the trees. Her nest is often made of cedar bark split into fine strips. She eats leaves, buds, bark, seeds and cones. She does not sleep through the winter. She keeps coming out at night, and in autumn and winter some squirrels share one nest. Scientists are still finding out why. Her superpower is SKY CAPE. This is the Explorer version from the Fenekie Explorer Club, a small team exploring the natural world together, one wild animal every week: Moonbeam painted the way she is painted in the book, sized to read from across the playground, on an everyday blank at an everyday price. 1% of everything we make goes back to the wild. Moonbeam is painted inside a gold ring on a deep green disc, her name in gold across the top. Collect her on a lunchbox, a notebook, a folder, or the back of a door. What you get • One 3 x 3 inch vinyl sticker, kiss-cut on a backing sheet so small hands can peel it • Durable vinyl with a strong adhesive and a smooth, bubble-free peel; best on notebooks, lunchboxes and gear that stays dry • Moonbeam's name and the club mark on the badge, ages 4 and up Printed to order and posted from the nearest US print partner.
