Imagine a big, fluffy squirrel that can glide through the air!
That's the Giant Flying Squirrel, a rare animal found in Odisha.

They gave it to the forest department, where a vet checked it.
These squirrels are becoming rare because their homes, the forests, are being cut down.
People who love animals want the government to help protect the squirrels by making more safe places for them to live and by maybe even starting programs to help them have babies.
Protecting forests is key to saving animals like the flying squirrel.
