Sugar Gliders are small nocturnal mammals. They have a thin skin flap behind their arms that allows them to glide from tree to tree. They typically weigh between 3 to 5 ounces, with large eyes and soft, gray fur. Their name comes from their love for sweet foods, like sap and nectar, and their gliding ability, which they use to travel between trees in the wild. These social animals live in colonies and communicate using a variety of vocalizations.
