A Winged Sciurus (Pronounced "Winged Sear-Us") [plural "Sciuri"] is an original species created by Omnom Squirrel that branches from the Sciurus (Squirrel) species itself.

Though the Winged Sciurus is much like a flying squirrel, it also differentiates in several ways such as the membrane that is connected from its underarms and mid to lower thighs and its cat-like facial features.

 

With evolution, the Sciuri have developed feathered membranes that work with aerodynamics more efficiently than a furred membrane would; allowing it to actually fly, rather than just glide a long distance.

The Winged Sciuri are also normally known to be tiny in size, and their coats are capable of changing colors according to the season and climate!

​

The name “Squirrel” when referring to a Sciurus is more of a nickname for Omnom that existed back before the design of the Sciurus species. (His original fursona was a flying squirrel)!
