Flying Squirrels – Northern and Southern Squirrel Species

Glaucomys sabrinus & Glaucomys vocans

There are two species, the northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) and the smaller more aggressive southern flying squirrel (G. vocans). Both species are nocturnal. Although they usually nest in trees, flying squirrels sometimes enter structures where they can cause serious damage to wiring and structural wood. There can be as many as 20-30 squirrels living in one structure. Their nocturnal activities can make living with them nearly impossible. Both species are active year round. The northern species has one litter of three (3) and sometimes four (4) young per year. The southern species may have two litters per year.
