Sugar Glider

A palm-sized marsupial that glides 50 meters between trees/Small Animals

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a tiny marsupial that can glide up to 50 meters between trees using a membrane called a patagium that stretches from its wrists to its ankles. Weighing only about 130 grams, it is nocturnal, omnivorous, and intensely social — they will become depressed if kept alone. They are named for their preference for sugary foods like nectar and tree sap.
