Sugar gliders are fascinating little creatures! Here are some key facts about them:
Scientific Name: Petaurus breviceps.
Appearance: These small, nocturnal marsupials have soft, grey fur with a lighter underside and distinctive black stripes on their heads. They have large eyes for excellent night vision and a bushy tail for balance.
Gliding Ability: Sugar gliders have a membrane called a patagium, stretching from their forelegs to their hindlegs, allowing them to glide up to 50 meters between trees.
Diet: They are omnivorous, feeding on nectar, pollen, tree sap, insects, and small invertebrates.
Habitat: Native to Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands, they live in forests and woodlands, often nesting in tree hollows.
Social Behavior: Sugar gliders are highly social and live in groups called clans. They communicate using a variety of sounds and scent markings.
Lifespan: In the wild, they typically live 3–9 years, but in captivity, they can live longer with proper care.
