They make pretty great pets, actually. They're a lot like sugar gliders, except they don't die if the room gets below 70F, they happily live without a companion (sugar glidders can die of loneliness), and have a pretty varied diet (SGs have a very specific diet).
I would have gotten one as my first adult pet if the cat distribution system hadn't found me first.
The ones I've met love people, especially flying from high places onto your shoulder.

45% feels like an underestimate.

Awww. North or South Flying Squirrel?
I have northern ones here, I never see them but I hear them. They are nocturnal so you never see them.

This wildlife rehabber is located in Georgia, so my guess is South.

In the americas there are two distinct species, northern and southern. According to my wildlife book.

Side note: At first glance, I thought it was an image of a baby squirrel playing a trumpet
