Petauridae is a family of marsupials commonly known as the gliders. This family includes species such as the sugar glider and the greater glider, which are known for their ability to glide through the air using a membrane that stretches from their wrists to their ankles. These animals are primarily found in Australia and New Guinea, where they inhabit forests and woodlands. Members of the Petauridae family are nocturnal and have a diet that mainly consists of fruits, nectar, and insects. They are social animals, often living in groups, and are known for their playful behavior. Their unique adaptations, such as their gliding ability, help them escape predators and navigate their arboreal habitats.
