Sugar Glider
Petaurus breviceps
Sugar gliders inhabit forests and woodlands across eastern and northern Australia, sheltering in tree hollows by day. At night they forage for nectar, pollen, tree sap, insects, and other small invertebrates. A membrane stretching between the limbs lets them glide between trees with controlled turns. They use scent glands and sharp vocalizations to communicate and defend resources.
