Reviewed by Ryan L. Rehmeier May 28, 2002

Action: changed name from "Sciurus niger" to "Glaucomys sp. "

Reviewer's comments:

"This photo appears to be of a flying squirrel (Glaucomys sp.) because of the folds of furred skin (gliding membrane) extending between the fore and hind limbs. It looks more like a Northern (Glaucomys sabrinus) than a Southern (Glaucomys volans) flying squirrel, based on the Northern's larger size and longer tail, but I can't be sure from the photo.
