Sugar gliders

ONLY AT SANCTUARY

Click to read about sanctuary visits

Sugar gliders are squirrel-sized arboreal marsupials that inhabit the forests of Australia and New Guinea. They are nocturnal and rarely come to the ground, finding both shelter and food in the trees.

​

​The sugar glider's main distinguishing feature is a soft membrane between its wrists and ankles called a patagium, which allows it to glide from tree to tree as though using a parachute. These “wrist-winged gliders” can float on air up to a distance nearly the width of a football field!

We do have sugar gliders but these can only be met currently at the sanctuary.
