The Mentawi flying squirrel (Iomys sipora) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Indonesia, where it is known only from the Mentawai Islands, specifically Sipura and North Pagai. Its natural habitat is lowland tropical primary forest below 500 metres above sea level, and it is threatened with extinction through the loss of that habitat. The Wikipedia article is brief, with short sections on geographic distribution and conservation status, and it gives no details of the animal's size, diet or behaviour, so none are recorded in this entry.
