SUGAR GLIDERS
Sugar Gliders are funny little critters from Australia that seem to
remind us of a flying squirrel. They are not, however, related
to flying squirrels because they are marsupials (grow in a pouch)
much like a kangaroo! They have the word sugar in their name
because they crave sugary foods like fruit! They have the word
glider in their name because they have a flap of skin between both
sides of their legs that allow them to "fly" from one tree to
another! Sugar gliders are nocturnal animals and they make
many different interesting sounds. One of the sounds they make
is called "crabbing". This noise is sort of like a wind up toy
and they make this sound when they are irritated. Kite (our
glider) is a lot of fun to bring to visit children.
