Pteromys volans orii Flying Squirrel Male

This is a male Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel standing guard at the entrance of a nest. Inside is a female that has entered estrus. This has attracted the attention of another male, which means that this male must maintain continual vigil. The two males faced off a number of times. Interlopers are sometimes successful in mating with females while the primary male is unaware or otherwise occupied.
