Pteromys volans orii Flying Squirrel Urinating

This is a Pteromys volans orii flying squirrel urinating, having braced itself at the entrance of its nest for the purpose. A stream of urine is visible flowing down the darkened trench beneath the pile of defecation. In most cases, these squirrels relieve themselves someplace removed from their nests. This behavior is unusual.
