Koala Bears are surprisingly NOT bears! They have sharp claws to help them climb trees and also have fingerprints similar to humans. Sadly, these cute little fellas cannot be kept as pets. :(

Sugar Gliders weigh 4oz and can glide up to 150ft. The membrane that helps them glide, much like a parachute, is attached at their "wrists" and "ankles". They can also adjust the curvature of the membrane to control their glide.
