Dear Mr.Owl,
 * Research 75 facts with sources:**

We were just wondering if you could share the tree with us flying squirrels? We do have some sharp claws and teeth and we can use them! So I would really appreciate it if you could share the tree with us flying squirrels!

Here we are in Tennessee well we are doing a little show call Flipping out on squirrels Lets introduce our selves.

Hi I am a flying squirrel and my name is Sandy

Hi I am a person named bball4life

bball4life: how do you live in a tree isn’t hard to make a hole?

Sandy: Well it isn’t really that bad because I have sharp claws and sharp teeth!

bball4life: what is it like having extra skin under your arms?

Sandy: It is great because it allows me to glide!

bball4life: Thanks for joining us today Sandy I hope we meet again!

Sandy: No, It was a pleasure to be on your show! I am so excited that people actually care about us flying squirrels!

Like other rodents, squirrels have four front teeth that never stop growing so they don't wear down from the constant gnawing. __[] __

female squirrels typically give birth to two to eight offspring. [|__http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/printable/squirrel.html__]

35. Babies are blind and totally dependent on their mothers for two or three months. Mothers may have several litters in a year, so most squirrel populations are robust. __[] __

36. Female flyers have a solitary vibrissa attached to each mamma, which helps stimulate milk production when a pup explores that area.

__[] __

There is another set of vibrissae under the lower jaw, and yet another set is found on the forepaws slightly above the wrist joint, which may assist the squirrel in handling objects. [|__www.flyingsquirrels.com/Anatomy/vibrissae.html__] 38. The main set consists of two groupings, one on each side of the head, situated on either side of the nose. They project outward from the face, and are several inches long. [|__www.flyingsquirrels.com/Anatomy/vibrissae.html__]

Another, shorter, set of vibrissae are found on the face just above the eyes.  [|__www.flyingsquirrels.com/Anatomy/vibrissae.html__]

Yet another set is found just below the eyes. These two sets of vibrissae are thought to afford some protection to the eyes, but their function is not yet fully understood. [|__www.flyingsquirrels.com/Anatomy/vibrissae.html__]
