About how far can a sugar glider glide?

Their scientific name "Petaurus breviceps" most accurately translates to "short-headed springboard."

Sugar gliders use their semi-prehensile tail to hold leaf matter while they scamper back to their nest.

That ankle-to-wrist membrane that enables them to glide is called a patagium.

A sugar glider's glide can reach about 150 feet (over 45 meters).

Sugar gliders can leap out to catch flying insects midair.
