The Southern Flying Squirrel has grey fur on it's back which means that is camouflaged from predators up above.
It also has large eyes which contribute to helping it see well in the dark (as it is a nocturnal species).
They have a membrane that is attached between the front and hind limbs, which when extended acts as a wing for gliding.
and a flat tail that also helps =) For more information please visit ww.Roblox.com
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.
Flying squirrels obtain their energy needs primarily through their diet, which consists of nuts, seeds, insects, and fungi. They are also able to digest cellulose thanks to specialized bacteria in their gut, which allows them to extract additional nutrients from plant material. Flying squirrels are active at night, so they conserve energy during the day by resting in tree cavities.
They can not fly at all.They actually glide from tree to tree.They can do this because the skin flaps under their arm.And the only species that can do that is the Flying Squirrel.
Flying squirrels communicate through a combination of vocalizations, body language, and scent markings. They use calls and chirps to signal danger, attract mates, and establish territory. They also leave scent markings on trees and other surfaces to communicate their presence to other squirrels in the area.
The biome that typically supports squirrels, mice, rabbits, and deer is the temperate deciduous forest. These animals are well-adapted to the seasonal changes and abundance of plant life found in this biome.
Flying Squirrels have adapted by Ganing these little wing like flaps which allow them to GLIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! (NOT FLY)!
The Flying Squirrels prey is mostly fungi.
A group of flying squirrels is called a "Dray".

Only flying squirrels are nocturnal. All other types of squirrels are active during the early morning and early afternoon, this type of behavior is called crepuscular (as opposed to diurnal = active mostly during the day, and nocturnal= active mostly at night )
Flying nuts
yes there is a whole species called the Mexican Flying Squirrels
Since flying squirrels are mainly active at night, owls are the main predator.
Bats are the flying mammals. There are some squirrels that 'glide' that are referred to as flying squirrels.
