~Where can you find Flying squirrels?
-Flying squirrels can be found in Southeast Asia, India and Sri Lanka

-Flying squirrels live in deciduous and coniferous forests and woodlands.

-They make their homes in snags, woodpecker holes, nest boxes, 
and abandoned nests of birds and other squirrels.

-Flying squirrels glide through the high, dense canopy of the rain forest and are rarely seen because of the height and their nocturnal habits.
