The Fenland Robin-Squirrel, scientifically known as Pteromyini or Petauristini, of Northern Cambridgeshire is a particularly rare species of flying squirrel (family Sciuridae). It is primarily known for having wings and being a close relative of the European Robin (Erithacus rubecula)

Little is known of its behaviour, diet or taxonomical characteristics due to its extreme temerity and propensity to fly away just at the exact second when someone is about to get a really good photo of it.

It is the only living example of the successful interbreeding of bird and mammal in the wild, although speculation on the existence of the Cumbrian Eagle-Otter continues to surface amongst northern England bird watching communities
