Can flying squirrels see in the light?

Yes, flying squirrels can see in the light, just like other squirrels. They are not nocturnal in the sense that they are blind during the day.

While they are more active at dusk and dawn, they are also active during the day, especially when foraging for food.

It's important to remember that their vision is adapted for low-light conditions, which means they are better at seeing in dim light than in bright sunlight.
