Flying Squirrel Receiving Treatment

A rare flying squirrel is being treated at the Think Wild rehabilitation center for wildlife near Bend. A hiker initially thought the orphaned baby rodent was dead, when they found it near the Virginia Meissner Sno-Park. When it moved, they called Think Wild. They started caring for the Northern flying squirrel feeding it by hand and helping it to grow stronger. It's one of two species of flying squirrels in Oregon. They're nocturnal and rarely seen during the day. They don't actually fly, they glide between trees.
