Glide into the weekend with the sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps)! This marsupial has a membrane, called the patagium, that spans its ankles to its wrists,and helps it drift between trees. The arboreal critter lives in parts of Australia, New Guinea, and Indonesia and comes out at night to look for treats like nectar, sap, lizards, and small birds.
