Does anyone have a picture of the anatomy of a Flying Squirrel?

My dog caught one, and I want to see what the damage is, but I can't seem to find a picture that showcases the bone structure and/or muscle.

Can anyone help?


A drawing of the side view would be really helpful.



Can someone tell me how I tell if it's a boy or girl? Are the markings different in any way? Oh, and a rainstorm is coming up, so I want to find its nest if it has one, the babies shouldn't be full grown yet.


More info: My dog caught this flying squirrel that's been in our attic for a while. It appears that she has only damaged the back legs, which are no longer bleeding (if they were in the first place). She might have broken its legs, as it appears it can only walk with the front ones.

Here's an X-ray: http://www.flyingsquirrels.com/anatomy.html

Try Googling "flying squirrel anatomy." Google Images is another good bet.

Yeah, that's what I tried. Google images isn't that great for exotic species.

Update: I think there's another one, I keep hearing something in the attic. Hopefully it's the female. Though they don't usually tend to stay together.

Let's bump this up, it's just a little more important than the topics above it.

Not that anyone cares, but my squirrel is looking better. And I think I can officially call it mine now. It doesn't look like it's going to die any time soon.

that's good to know
