The greater glider is a large, nocturnal marsupial native to the forests of eastern Australia. It is known for its ability to glide through the trees, thanks to its large patagium, a membrane that stretches from its wrists to its ankles. This adaptation allows the greater glider to travel distances of up to 100 meters in a single glide, helping it escape predators and move between food sources. Primarily herbivorous, the greater glider feeds on eucalyptus leaves, which are its main source of nutrition. These animals are solitary and typically live in tree hollows, where they rest during the day. Due to habitat loss and other environmental pressures, the greater glider is considered vulnerable, prompting conservation efforts to protect its habitat and ensure its survival.
