I thought this was a cool discovery. Pretty exciting to find a new mammal in 2019, especially a giant flying squirrel.
Smithsonian Magazine coverage:
Scientific article in “Zookeys” describing specimen:

This was a cool article–thanks for sharing!
In 2017, Jon Martin, at Northland College, accidentally discovered that North American flying squirrels are fluorescent when he pointed a UV flashlight at one.
No one knows why.
I heard about that. Very weird. Check out this craziness too.
