Flying squirrels live in eastern parts of North America including eastern US, southern Canada, and parts of Quebec and Nova Scotia. They inhabit deciduous forests with trees like oak, maple, beech and hickory. Flying squirrels have gray tails, white bellies, and soft gray fur on their backs. They are nocturnal and glide between trees using flaps of skin known as patagium that stretch from their wrists to ankles. Their diet consists of nuts, seeds, berries, insects, tree buds and eggs. Major predators of flying squirrels include owls, martens, fishers, raccoons, and house cats.
