Natalia the Night Fairy with a Flying Squirrel

 

Welcome to the latest post on my free coloring pages blog.

This is a post that has a Night Fairy on it. 

Natalia the Night Fairy with a Flying Squirrel

Night Fairies often hang out with nocturnal animals.  This Beautiful Night Fairy, named Natalia, is friends with flying squirrels.  Flying squirrels are a type of squirrel that is nocturnal instead of diurnal.  Nocturnal means the animal is active at night.  Diurnal means the animal is active during the day.  

This is a Southern Flying Squirrel.  They are small squirrels, with flaps of loose skin between their front legs and hind legs.  They can glide from tree to tree.  They have large eyes to see at night.  This type of flying squirrel is between 8 and 10 inches long.  Those 10 inches include the tail, which is less than 5 inches long... so these are small squirrels. 

So that being the size of the squirrel then you probably figured out that Natalia is not in her natural 5 inches Fairy size.  Fairies have the technology and magical power to change to sizes as small as an insect to as large as a basketball player.  But they usually remain between their natural 5 inches tall up to the size of a mortal.  

In this drawing, Natalia is standing or hovering behind some small bushes and talking to a Southern Flying Squirrel that is on a somewhat tall stump of what was a small tree.  Natalia chose to be about the size of a five or six-year-old mortal child.  She will return to her 5-inch size to go home to the underground Fairy village under an oak tree. Fairies live underground below trees and use their Fairy Tech and their magic to create a well-lit underground environment.
