Air pollution, urban development and forest-clearing also may be affecting the squirrels range, according to the petition. The San Bernardino flying squirrel, a subspecies of the northern flying squirrel, has parachute-like panels of skin that stretch from wrist to ankle, allowing it to glide for 300 feet or more between trees. It lives year-round in Southern Californias high-elevation conifer forests, and feeds on truffle fungi that thrive among large trees and downed logs. Environmentalists want the nocturnal glider native to Southern California mountains to be listed as an endangered species threatened by climate change. - California news
