Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps)

I hadn’t heard of sugar gliders until Jeanne and Victoria told me about them last week. These nocturnal little guys—and they are little—live in Australia and New Guinea, where they glide from tree to tree. I think they look like they’re wearing capes. They are also fairly popular as exotic pets, but I don’t think I would want one, despite how adorable they are.
