Pair of Pteromys volans orii Flying Squirrels

The two Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels pictured here had just emerged from their nest, taking a moment here prior to foraging. This pair mated 35 days after this photo was taken. One of the pair was taken by a northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) about a week after mating took place. The survivor left the nest, most likely joining other individuals in another nest.
