Sugar Glider

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass. The common name refers to its preference for sugary foods like sap and nectar and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel. Sugar gliders are found throughout the northern and eastern parts of mainland Australia, Tasmania, and the island of New Guinea.
