Petaurus is a genus of marsupials that includes species such as the sugar glider and the greater glider. These animals are known for their ability to glide through the air, thanks to a membrane that stretches from their wrists to their ankles. They are primarily found in Australia and New Guinea, inhabiting forests and woodlands.
Petaurus species are nocturnal and are often seen foraging for food at night. Their diet mainly consists of fruits, nectar, and insects. These social animals typically live in groups, which helps them stay safe from predators and find food more efficiently.
