Sugar Glider or Flying Squirrel?
I'm not sure.
Doesn't look like a squirrel to me, not enough brown fur on the tail or body.
Has to be a Sugar Glider.
There's 50 species of flying squirrel and 7 sub-species of sugar gliders and they have a common ancestor, but apparently evolved their "wings" separately.
Judging by the shape of the head on that one, I'd lean towards sugar glider too.
What about bats?
Ta' Hell w/ Dracula put a stake in him, I love bats. And most of them eat mosquitos.
They are a wonder to watch when they fly near dusk.

Bats are cool and a whole other discussion. I'm just really curious about the flying squirrel/sugar glider connection.
A large, old style warehouse type building I used to work in would get bats inside. I found one on the floor that couldn't take off, so I got him between a couple paper plates and took him outside.
Ever heard of this one?

^ Yep - and they would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for those pesky kids!
Some White Tip Reef Shark action for everyone this morning... (taken at about 90 feet down)

Bats are cool, and it always drives me crazy when people freak out over them. Bats are good, they insects, and polinate flowers, and even vampire bats aren't really a threat to people.What about bats?

I swear there must have been something in the air today that was making animals really hyper today. Our dogs were going nuts playing outside this morning, more than they have in quite a while, and then when I went past some one of the horse stables I pass on my on bike ride, they had a whole bunch of horses out loose in a fenced in area in front, and they were all racing around and kicking and going nuts. And it wasn't because of me, I was on the other side of a busy 4 lane street. We also took the dogs to the dog park later, and they were still going nuts and running around like crazy.
Another shot of a (male) Spotted Boxfish for today:

OK, that's.... not comforting.
Saw a roadrunner out on my bike ride today, which was especially ironic, because before I left I watched Looney Tunes on MeTV's Saturday Morning Cartoons, and one of the last ones they showed was a Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner cartoon. It was sitting on a fence right by me, and I was going to take a picture, but as soon as I went for my phone it jumped off the fence and disappeared.
