Flying squirrels are the oldest living line of modern squirrels (modern, as opposed to their precursors, the early-Eocene squirrel-like rodents called “paramyids”). Evidence of their relative’s existence goes back to the late Eocene period, between 38 and 55 million years ago! Tree squirrels made their first appearance on this earth during the late Oligocene period, about 30 million years ago. Ground squirrels came in waves, with some appearing 28 million years ago (very late Oligocene period), late Miocene period (8 million years ago) and very late Pliocene period (2.5 million years ago).

==========

North American flying squirrels are not very well represented in the fossil record, for several reasons.

Their fine bone structures do not fossilize well, and due to their arboreal lifestyle, dead specimens rarely were situated so that fossilization could occur. Flying squirrel teeth are often the only fossil record that survive the ravages of time. Attempts have been made, in the past, to identify extinct flying squirrel species’ via dentition characteristics, but it was found that using this method alone was inaccurate more often than not. A high degree of expertise is required to make distinctions between extinct tree and flying squirrel teeth, so skeletal (including the skull) AND dental characteristics combined present the most accurate method of identification.

So, there being a paucity of information to be gleaned from fossil records (these records are virtually all Pleistocene Era records, by the way), we have little data to enlighten us about the flying squirrel’s time here on this continent.

What we do know, however, is:

What we now call the southern flying squirrel likely emigrated to North America via the Bering Land Bridge via Asia roughly 25 million years ago during the early Miocene era. This squirrel was adapted for life in temperate mixed deciduous-coniferous forests, and migrated north and south with the glacier activity through the eons.

More adapted to warmer climes than the northern, southern flying squirrels found themselves migrating as far south as Central America during the Pleistocene era, roughly 100,000 years ago. Relict populations exist to this day in higher-elevation areas of Central America and Mexico, their connectivity forever lost due to climate changes and more recently, large-scale deforestation.

What we now call the northern flying squirrel is a relative newcomer to North America, having emigrated to North America during another incarnation of the Bering Land Bridge roughly 12 million years ago, during the early Pliocene era. This route of emigration via the Bering Land Bridge is not unusual, as many of North America’s mammals, both extinct and extant, followed a similar route. In fact, it is generally accepted that our First Nations people emigrated to this continent via the Bering Land Bridge roughly 12,000 years ago, although there is some evidence that there may have been “ancient mariners” who rafted across the Pacific Ocean

The general thinking today is that the northern flying squirrels came from different stock than that of the southern flying squirrel. The most convincing argument for this theory is the squirrel’s baculum, a small supporting bone of the penis that aids in the mating process and is present in many mammal species. The northern flying squirrel’s baculum is structurally much more comparable in shape possessed by the Asian genus Hylopetes than that of the southern flying squirrel’s. Shown on the right is the baculum of the northern flying squirrel (much enlarged!).

The Bering Land Bridge (Beringia)

The Bering Sea, Bering Strait and Beringia (a term to describe an area ranging from the Kolyma River in the Russian far east to the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories of Canada) was named for Vitus Bering, a Danish explorer for a Russian czar in the 18th Century.

At some points, this land mass, which at times sported a rich mixed forest environment, was thousands of miles wide, depending upon sea levels in the Bering Sea.

An animated video on how post-glacial flooding affects the size and scope of the Bering Land Bridge can be found here.

Below is a graphic detailing the extent of the last ice age. Flying squirrels, like most of our mammals, had to pack their bags and head south to warmer, more suitable areas such as the taiga biomes shown below. Once a warming trend began to melt these huge masses of ice from south to north, wildlife also moved northward.

The true story of Alfred Kienitz set in East Germany – before, during and after WW2 – tells of many hardships suffered during those times. Raised with six brothers and sisters, Alfred was part of a family that worked hard to survive. His parents despised Hitler and all that he stood for. They were the first family to have a tractor in their village – only to be at the mercy of the mayor, who sometimes would loan out the Kienitz farm equipment without permissio… More >>

Born in Liberia, he saw first hand the injustice that young people had to bear in the refugee camps of the Ivory Coast. When he immigrated to Canada, Othello was determined to Make a Difference by encouraging fellow African immigrants to produce their traditional goods and sell them in an African Market which he set up with the help of other volunteers. This brightened up the area of Winnipeg in which is situated and continues to be a space where people from all backgrounds can share their culture.

Hi

Can anyone tell me the cheapest way to transfer my GBP to CAD when I immigrate? I don’t yet have a Canadian bank account as I am not living there yet. I have a paypal account so when I sell my house could I open a bank account in Canada and send the money from my british bank into my canadian bank via paypal? It sounds obvious but if you need to pay for this service elsewhere there must be something wrong with this option. Do you think? Also, if anyone does know, please can you tell me the commision likely to be deducted?
