The Sugar Glider is an nocturnal marsupial mammal that feeds on nectar, insect and the sap from eucalypt trees. It was named by timber-getters and bushmen who found they liked honey, sugar and jam. Most gliders live in family groups and huddle together in leaf-lined tree hollows for warmth when the weather turns cold.
Scent markings are therefore well developed.
Their bushy tail is as long as the Gliders body and graduates from grey to a black tip. Yellow-bellied Glider also called Fluffy Glider. Greater Glider also called Dusky Glider. Feathertail Glider also called Pigmy Glider and Flying Mouse.
