The Southern Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys volans) in Lincoln, Nebraska
The southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans) is considered a species of greatest conservation need in Nebraska and listed as
threatened in the state. Historically, the geographic range of the southern flying squirrel in Nebraska has been restricted to five
eastern counties from a northern suburb of Omaha, Douglas Co., southward in the four counties of Sarpy, Otoe, Nemaha, and
Richardson, all bordering the Missouri River on the east. In late November of 2018, a resident of Lincoln, Lancaster Co., Nebraska,
contacted the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission about an animal found dead in his yard. This animal proved to be a southern
flying squirrel, which was 50 to 70 miles [80 to112 km] west of the known geographic range of the species. Two additional individuals
were subsequently observed at the original residence as were individuals in at least a total of 10 neighborhoods throughout the
city of Lincoln. Clearly, a population of the southern flying squirrels is established and reproducing in Lincoln, but their origin is
unknown. The source of this city-dwelling population may be from released/escaped pets, a natural dispersal from the Missouri
River via the Platte River and Salt Creek, or inadvertent translocation when moving timber or fire wood.
