Habitat loss, human disturbance and competition.
The Red Squirrel was originally from Scotland and the Grey Squirrel from America. They both thrived in their separate lands until someone brought over the Greys to the UK. They reproduced rapidly and stole the Red Squirrels food and attacked Red Squirrel populaces. Now the Red Squirrel is endangered. But NOT exctinct. The Grey Squirrels have not got rid of the Red Squirrels.
Yes there are flying squirrels in Missouri, in fact all over it. But you will almost never see them because they are very shy and nocturnal.
Are the American Squirrels endangered?No, some have even climbed onto ships and headed over to other countries. e.g. the UK. The american ones are grey and they have taken over the red ones. Next in line are the black squirrels, who are starting to overtake the grey squirrels.
No. Where the grey and red squirrels intermingle, the red squirrels tend to be pushed out by the larger greys.
The North American Man Squirrel Love Association is dedicated to helping endangered flying squirrels.
No
well grey squirrels are becoming slowly more common but red squirrels are slowly entering the endangered list because they are dying from diseases they catch from grey squirrels

I don't know, why don't you tell me?

Habitat loss, human disturbance and competition.
Habitat loss is usually to blame, but they are at this time (March 25th, 2011) listed with the IUCN as "Least Concern", which means they are not threatened, vulnerable, or endangered.
Red squirrels are found in Britain, primarily in the northernmost areas. Unfortunately, due to a pox carried by grey squirrels, the red squirrel population has decreased dramatically, leading the species to be officially classed as 'endangered'.
The Northern flying squirrel is endangered in the southern part of its range, in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. It is strictly protected in these areas by law.
