Well, actually, flying squirrels don't just live in North and South Dakota, as some people say. They also live in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and many other states. Mostly, they live in the eastern and middle-eastern states. They love to live in trees. They are easy to find in meadows and forests.:) If you have anything to add to this, it would be great, but please don't delete this whole thing. It would be better to have a whole line of facts then just to have one short paragraph of just a few facts. The more facts there is, the more we get smarter by learning new things everyday and reading more stuff to add to your brain. Thanks,

Flying squirrels typically inhabit forests with dense vegetation, especially areas with plenty of trees for nesting and gliding. They prefer mature forests with a good supply of nuts, seeds, and insects for food. Flying squirrels are nocturnal and like to nest in tree cavities or build nests in the canopy.

Squirrels are not currently considered endangered as a whole, but certain species may be at risk due to habitat loss, deforestation, and human activities. Conservation efforts are in place to protect these species and their habitats.

A flying squirrel doesn't fly, it glides using skin flaps at its sides. A squirrel is also a rodent and birds are birds. A flying squirrel isn't adapted to flying as it is too heavy to fly, but only glide. A bird has hollow bones and muscles in their wings, flying squirrels have heavy bones and only skin flaps and no muscle in them.
