biology_ecology
Habitat. Primarily lowland primary forests below elevations of ¢. 3000 m. The Smoky Flying Squirrel is relatively rare and even less common at higher elevations. Although a few secure populations are found on Borneo, it is often replaced by the Javanese Flying Squirrel (fomys horsfieldir) in more disturbed habitat on the Malay Peninsula.
