Mammals

 Tama Forest Science Garden is located in the western suburbs of Tokyo. However, nearly all species of mammals found in the lowland forests of Honsu can be found within its wooded precincts, since it is adjacent to the Kanto Mountains. The arboretum is especially suitable for the observation of Japanese giant flying squirrels. The Japanese giant squirrel is nocturnal, but you may have chance to see it, if you are lucky, because it sometimes shows its face at the entrance of tis den in the daytime. Its nest, feces and food remains, can all be observed in the arboretum.
