Are flying squirrels nocturnal?
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 )
Is there such a thing as a flying squirrel?
No, they cannot. The only mammal that can truly fly is the bat. Flying squirrels use special membranes which stretch between their ankles and wrists to catch air currents, thereby gliding between trees, much the way the sugar gliders do.
What does squirrel tail movement mean?
It's a communication to other squirrels.
Can Squirrels talk?
not that we can understand but it talks to other animals it knows but a squirrel does not do it when we are around

That does not happen, because they are two different species. Furthermore, flying squirrels are nocturnal, and rarely come across other squirrels.

What animals live in the same habitat of the flying squirrel?
Bears, foxes and wolves live in the same habitat as the flying squirrel. The main reason they fly is because they want to stay away from these animals on the ground. Flying from tree to tree can help keep them safe in such a dangerous habitat.
Will a tree squirrel kill aground squirrel?
Most likely not. Tree squirrels and ground squirrels live separate lives, and do not usually even bother each other, let alone kill each other. However, it is possible for a squirrel to do so, tree squirrels will most likely remain tranquil and not kill another squirrel.

What does it mean to be a flying squirrel?
Flying squirrels might better be called "gliding squirrels". They do not fly by flapping their flabby skinned legs, but they can glide long distances by catching the air under their loose skin when they spread their legs on a leap from up high. These animals have a membrane of skin which extends from their wrists to their ankles. Air fills the membrane of skin around the arms and legs in a "parachute" effect, and it causes the flying squirrel to take more of a diagonal route down. A normal squirrel would be subject to the force of gravity if it tried this, falling straight down. The flying squirrel can then land on other branches in the area.In this regard, it is much like the gliders - gliding, possum-like marsupials - of Australia.
