THE AMAZING SUGAR GLIDER

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum native to tropical and cool-temperate forests in Australia, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea.
They are highly social, living in small colonies or family groups numbering up to seven adults and their offspring.
Their main distinguishing feature is a soft membrane between their wrists and ankles called a patagium, which allows them to glide from tree to tree as though using a parachute.
They can glide half the length of a soccer pitch in one trip and use their bushy tails as rudders as they soar through the air.Sugar gliders are popular exotic pets due to their small size and unique appearance.
