Dear fellow Pathfinders
Since a druid's WS doesn't allow one to assume any other special abilities of the creature that's not specifically mentioned in the Beast Shape entry, does that mean a druid that WS's into a Flying Squirrel doesn't gain its Glide(Ex) special ability?
That would make for quite a hilarious scene because, well, naturally flying squirrels can't use their fly speed for other than gliding but a druid wildshaped as one can fly up up and away, as clumsy as she may be!
Damn that's beautiful.
Um. Technically, I think you're correct: but that's ridiculous, so I rather doubt any GM would let you get away with it.

Yeah I think so too. I just found it hilarious though. Not game breaking either... but think of the tiny little squirrel flying around everywhere raining down spells of DOOM!
Also, knowing my DM, he's probably gonna find it so funny that he'll want me to use it than not XD
Fair enough.

If the form grants a lesser ability of the same type, you gain the lesser ability instead.http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/magic.html#_polymorph
Glide is not a lesser ability of the same type as fly.
One is an extraordinary ability. The other is a movement type.
That's the loophole, because you don't apply extraordinary abilities not on the list, but you do get movement type.
Given that the flying squirrel isn't any more powerful than the bird forms he could use, I'd allow it if he wanted to be a fuzzy flier.
