Today I learned that "although flying squirrels do not hibernate, if temperatures become too severe the squirrels will enter a state of torpor until temperatures return to normal." FYI "torpor" means "a state of suspended physical powers and activities." There's something new to learn about squee creatures everyday! Life's too short to avoid the *SPLORT*! Visit Daily Squee for your daily cuteness!
