In their sample of 8,827 northern flying squirrels (
Glaucomys sabrinus), 31 exhibited healed fractures (0.4%).
Glaucomys spp.) (Muul 1968, Weigl & Osgood 1974, Urban 1988, Cotton & Parker 2000) reduced their activities in the winter.

Two sciurid species, the endangered CNFS and the common southern flying squirrel (SFS;
Glaucomys volans), have been impacted by these past and ongoing forest changes.
These spruce forests have provided important habitat for many rare plants and migratory bird species, and have acted as a stronghold for the federally endangered West Virginia northern flying squirrel (
Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus) and the federally threatened Cheat Mountain salamander (Plethodon nettingi).

Although improvements in living standards have made louse-borne epidemic typhus very rare in the United States (US) today, a new and unanticipated zoonotic reservoir for epidemic typhus in southern flying squirrels (
Glaucomys volans) was discovered by Bozeman and colleagues in 1975, and human cases without exposures to body lice were first reported in 1976 (Figure 1) (1,2) Since 1976, there have been more than 40 cases of PCR-confirmed R.
Other species documented included: Nine-banded Armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), Eastern Cottontail (Sylvilagus floridanus), 11 species of rodents (Eastern Chipmunk, Tamias striatus; Woodchuck, Marmota monax; Eastern Gray Squirrel, Sciurus carolinensis; Southern Flying Squirrel

The most recently recovered species include the (West) Virginia northern flying squirrel (
Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus), certain populations of the bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and the Yellowstone Distinct Population Segment of the grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos horribilis).
Two species that rely on red spruce forest as their primary habitat and so stand to benefit from the Canaan Valley reforestation project are the threatened Cheat Mountain salamander (Plethodon nettingi) and the endangered West Virginia northern flying squirrel (
Glaucomys sabrinus fuscus).
Fifteen species live in the region today, including the chipmunks (Tamias spp.), ground squirrels (Spermophilus spp.), Sciurus griseus, flying squirrel (
Glaucomys sabrinus), and the large Marmota flaviventris.
Take an ordinary gray squirrel, shrink it down to about the size of a large chipmunk, equip it with night-vision goggles and a cape, and you'd have a pretty good approximation or not only Rocky the cartoon flying squirrel, friend of Bullwinkle, but
Glaucomys the real flying squirrel, friend of woodland and suburban ecosystems throughout much of North America.

We reviewed existing habitat and dispersal data for several wildlife species in the ecoregion that may serve as indicators of riparian connectivity: the meadow jumping mouse (Zapus hudsonius), tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum), southern flying squirrel (
Glaucomys volans), and eastern tiger swallowtail butterfly (Papilio glaucus).
