Don't let their name fool you, these squirrels can't actually fly like birds, but they are experts at gliding from tree to tree. With big, bright eyes, a fluffy tail, and a special skin flap called a'patagium', they look like tiny superheroes in the night sky. Their soft, grey-brown fur helps them blend in with the trees, making them hard to spot.  \nSpeaking of trees, that's where Northern Flying Squirrels love to hang out. They can be found in the forest regions of North America, from Alaska to California, living in tree holes or nests made of bark and leaves. They're nocturnal, which means they're most active during the night, when the forest comes alive with all sorts of interesting sounds and movements. Being high up in the trees also keeps them safe from many predators on the ground.  \nJust like us, Northern Flying Squirrels have a favorite snack: nuts! But that's not all they eat, they also munch on fruits, insects, bird eggs, and even tree bark. They share their forest homes with other animals like owls, raccoons, and foxes, and sometimes, these neighbors can become a bit too interested in them. To protect themselves, they'll use their amazing gliding skills to escape or hide in their tree homes.  \nSo, what makes Northern Flying Squirrels different from other squirrels? Well, unlike their cousins, the Gray Squirrels, they're smaller and have that unique skin flap that helps them glide. Northern Flying Squirrels also have a neat trick-they use their tail as a rudder, steering themselves as they glide through the air. So next time you're in a forest, keep an eye out for these amazing animals, and remember, there's always more to discover about the incredible world of nature!  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) Where might a Northern Flying Squirrels live?  \n[A. in](A. in) an underground burrow B. a tree hole  \n[C. in](C. in) the bank of a river D.
