Southern Flying Squirrel Latrine

Further proof of  Southern Flying Squirrel presence on the South Fork. This good size latrine was found spilled out of a sawed tree trunk in the Long Pond Greenbelt.  The squirrrels live communally, especially in the cold weather,  inside hollowed out tree trunks.  Separate chambers in the same tree are used for latrines.   Here is a video of a pet flying squirrel eating a cicada.
