A further 200 li northeast stands Mount Tiānchí [天池], without plants or trees above, but with many patterned stones. There is a beast like a hare, with a rat's head, which flies by means of its back; its name is Fēi Shǔ [飛鼠]. The Miǎn [澠] River rises here and sinks beneath the mountain, with much yellow earth in its waters.From the English edition of Mountains & Seas.
