The Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small marsupial that is found in the forests of Tasmania, Australia, New Guinea and the neighboring islands of Indonesia. They are in the same order that includes opossums, wombats, kangaroos and Tasmania Devils. The Sugar Glider is 6.3 to 7.5 inches in length, with a tail almost as long as the bod and almost as thick as a human thumb. An adult glider weighs about 4 to 6 ounces, the male being the larger. They have very thick soft pearl grey fur with a black stripe that runs the full length of their body along the spine. The last couple inches of the tail are also black. They have dramatic black markings on the face, legs and back. See less
