Flying Squirrel Male Competition | Pteromys volans orii

Pictured here are two male Pteromys volans orii flying squirrels. The one inside the tree has just peeked out from the nest which he has occupied with a female that has gone into estrus. Caught sneaking up to try to enter the nest to compete for the female, the male on the tree has just jumped away to avoid a confrontation.
