The rest of my base-jumping team is waiting for me up there.
Siberian flying squirrel on elevator, via Reddit. (Story here, but it’s in Finnish.)

That is so cute it made me cry.
Squeeeeeee!
OMG – sooooo cute and even funnier is when I asked Google to translate the page. Let me see if the link will work:
https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fyle.fi%2Fuutiset%2F3-7111732
in case it doesn’t work, it seems the squirrel was found at Lappeenranta University of Technology and someone originally thought it was a guinea pig.
I think Google Translate did a pretty good job here:
No! No! No! I for one do not want CLOWNS flying anywhere near me!!! ((shudder))
Mike, that one deserves one of your email bot responses!
Oh yes, we haven’t had a ‘Dear Spambot’ post in a while – that would be great!
Oh right, you just reminded me– a friend posted this yesterday on fb 😀
Just got the best Spam ever:
It’s a glorious moment for our togetherness of business relationship! It has been a spectacular journey for many years!!
On this festive season, we are coming with our upcoming Christmas festival discount which will be strawberry on your Christmas cake!
The other line that killed me was “On Thursday, an enchanted squirrel was discovered in the premises of the university.” LOL!!!!! Love it and yes, this little guy looks like an enchanted squirrel.
Another update: on their Facebook page, it says
This lovely creature surprised us today with a visit! It is a Siberian flying squirrel (Pteromys volans) and it was found near the elevator on 6th floor. Maybe it was too tired of flying?
This Green Campus visit ended happily when our staff members helped it back to the nature.
Here’s what I got when I tried your link:
The real surprise at the university – the clown squirrel flew to the sixth floor
The workers at Lappeenranta University of Technology were expecting a real surprise when a goblet with a nap-eye collared in front of the elevator door.
Google translate is always good for a laugh!
Yes, Google Translate is good for a laugh, until students start using it to do their homework! Then you’ll see their English teacher cry!
He looks like he needs a hug.
i would be happy to assist. I find the cuteness quotient so over the top that I’m a little suspicious. Could that really be real?
Whew! So glad the little nap-eyed goblet is free! He looks so sad and scared by all that metal.
Also, I like to imagine that “goblet” means “baby goblin”.
The big eyes make me suspect he was made in Japan…
(This was supposed to be a reply to DUBRAVKAMCVMD. I don’t know why I’m suddenly having issues with this site again; had to clear my cookies to even get it to load.)
The squirrel is adorable, and the Google translation makes it even more adorable! I laughed and laughed, although not at the squirrel — I squeed loudly for that, of course. Flying squirrels are so cute! I wish someone had taken a photo of it leaving, whether it was running away or flying!
