Sugar Gliders flying through the air

Hi!

I am a sugar glider. I come from down under otherwise known as Australia. Another name I go by is an Australia Flying Squirrel. Everybody who sees me thinks I am cute. I look like a little chipmunk, only I am gray, with black stripes. If I was found in the wild, I would be brown because the sap stains my fur. I have an opposable thumb. I am able to pick up the fruits I love to eat and hold them while I eat them. I also have a long fluffy tail that helps me steer as I glide from tree to tree in the forest. I have little beady eyes that help me see as I glide through the night air. I am nocturnal, so I am awake during the night and sleep during the day. I also have whiskers that help me feel during the night.
