Carolina Northern Flying Squirrel

My animal's family is sceciridae. You can find them in the southeast.
It is a mammal. Its common name is Carolina northern flying squirrel. Its scientific name is gloucomys sabremus coloralus. There are only 189 left.
A description is 10-12 inches long. It weighs 3-5 oz. It has a flat tail. The adults tail is gray with brownish, tan or reddish wash,dark back. 

North Carolina or Tennessee.
Its primary food is lichens and fungi. Its secondary food is certain seeds, buds, fruit, stirminate, cones, insects and other animal material. 

There are 50 born at one time. 37 to 42 days night activities. Because the northern flying squirrel is adapted to the color bureal conditions, its why has probably been shrinking due to natural conditions  since the last ice age.

No flying squirrels. I would like to help by doing as mush as possible to help these will be flying squirrels.
