Abundance Notes
At the time of this review there are 3 vouchers of flying squirrel noted in NPSpecies evidence counts. Flying squirrels are assumed to be widely distributed in YNP, but have more restrictive habitat requirements than other coniferous squirrels and are therefore likely not common in the park.; Data Source: Doug Keinath-Lead Zoologist-Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
