Humboldt's Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis)Observer
bellaormsethDescription
This dead flying squirrel was brought into the house at night by the cat, sadly. I don't know if it is adult or juvenile. I'm guessing that it is a Humboldt's rather than a Northern Flying Squirrel because, if it is an adult, it seems rather small. Its coat was dark greyish brown with golden brown tips, save for its belly, which is lighter.
