Basilan flying squirrel

The Basilan flying squirrel (Petinomys crinitus) is a species of flying squirrel, a gliding rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is also called the Philippines flying squirrel or the Mindanao flying squirrel, and it is endemic to the Philippines, meaning it occurs nowhere else. It is often confused with the similarly named Mindanao flying squirrel, Petinomys mindanensis, a separate species in the same genus. The Wikipedia article behind this entry is a brief stub that cites Thorington and Hoffman's 2005 treatment of the squirrel family in Mammal Species of the World, so the account is limited to identity, naming and range and does not describe habits or diet.
