What is a parachute ring in the forest?

A woodpecker screamed loudly in the forest. As soon as the forest reporter heard the sound, he knew that the woodpecker must have met with disaster!

The forest reporter walked through the jungle quickly and saw a dead tree with a neat hole, which was the woodpecker's nest. There is a rare little beast crawling along the trunk to the mouth of the cave.

The forest correspondent can't tell what kind of beast this is! Its hair is gray, and there is not much hair on its short tail. Ears are small and round, just like bear ears. Eyes are as big and convex as bird's eyes.

The little beast climbed into the tree hole and looked into it. It seems that he wants to eat the eggs inside. Woodpeckers pounced on it desperately!

The little beast suddenly hid behind the trunk. Woodpeckers ran after him. The little beast circled around the trunk again and again, and the woodpecker followed closely.

The little beast climbed higher and higher round and round until it reached the top of the trunk, and there was no place to climb! The woodpecker saw that it was desperate and gave it a good peck! The little beast jumped and floated in the air.

It opens its four small paws, just like maple leaves in autumn floating in the wind. Its body swings slightly from side to side, and its small tail is like a rudder. It flew over the open grass and landed on a branch.

Then I suddenly remembered that it was a flying little beast-flying squirrel. This animal has skin membranes on its ribs. When it opens its four legs, two layers of skin open, and it can fly in the air. It's a skydiver in our forest! But unfortunately, this animal is too rare!
