The Sugar Glider is a small, nocturnal marsupial native to Australia and New Guinea. It has large eyes, a flat face, and a membrane called the patagium that stretches from its wrists to its ankles, allowing it to glide between trees. Sugar gliders are social animals and often live in groups, feeding primarily on nectar, fruits, and insects. These creatures are about the size of a small squirrel, typically weighing between 4 to 5 ounces. They are popular pets due to their playful nature and unique ability to glide. However, they require a specialized diet and social interaction to thrive in captivity.
