Ep. 278 : Getting to know Southern Flying Squirrels

While out tracking in the new snow the other day I came across some relatively small tracks, reminiscent of a Chipmunk. It took a second before I recognized them as Southern Flying Squirrel tracks.
I have been encountering Southern Flying Squirrels in various ways for a few years, including tracks, scat, feeding sign, live sightings, and I even pet one once, but through all of this, I didn’t know much about them. Hence, inspired by my recent tracking outing, I figured I would take some time to get to know the Southern Flying Squirrel a little better. Hopefully we can learn a little more together.
