sugar gliders
Pocket-sized parachute pets
Sugar gliders are small nocturnal marsupials native to Australia and New Guinea, kept as exotic pets in many countries.
They have a membrane stretching between their front and back legs that allows them to glide between trees—hence the name.
The "sugar" comes from their preference for sweet foods like nectar and fruit.
Sugar gliders are social animals that do best in pairs.
