TORONTO STAR LETTER TO THE EDITOR; AUGUST 4, 2004 Flying squirrels losing habitat Re: Fur flies over tiny squirrel, July 29 I consider myself lucky to have had an opportunity to learn from Steve Patterson's research on and enthusiasm for Northern flying squirrels (Glaucomys sabrinus). They are simply amazing creatures. Although monkey pox sounds scary, Patterson's educational work fights a more imminent danger - that of habitat destruction and ignorance. Let Sabrina stay.
