Pel's flying squirrel

 * ... that Pel's flying squirrel drives off potential predators by hissing and gnashing its teeth? Source: "... hisses and snaps its teeth. This behaviour may deter birds of prey, primates and small carnivores. ... its aggressiveness and large size may make it less vulnerable to predation than the smaller anomalure species."

 * Symbol question.svg The article is new enough and long enough. It is neutral and does not seem to have copyright violations. I could verify most of the article, but I could not verify that the ears are rounded; the Gliding Mammals of the World source only states "the ears are of normal size and partly bare". Is it verified by pages of the book that are not shown in the Google Books preview? I added an inline citation to verify that litters occur in April and September because the Asdell's Patterns of Mammalian Reproduction source only seemed to state "September & other mo". The hook is neutral and cited. The nominator has done QPQ. Gulumeemee (talk) 07:07, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * That was a very conscientious review! I have altered the description sentence, part of which comes from page 166 of the source. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Now I can verify the description. Page 166 is shown in the preview. Gulumeemee (talk) 08:45, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
