There are 2 species of flying squirrels in Pennsylvania; the Northern and the Southern Flying Squirrel and it’s not looking good for the Northern. A four-year study in Pennsylvania, ending in 2007 only found 33 Northern Flying Squirrels in Pennsylvania. Most were found in the Pocono Mountains, one in Potter County and one in Warren County.
