The Cutest Flying Animals On Earth

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a marsupial native to the forests and rainforests of eastern and northern Australia, New Guinea, and the Bismarck Archipelago. It was introduced to Tasmania and about 15 years ago to the United States.

Not surprisingly, the sugar glider gets its name from the fact that it has a sweet tooth. Apart from leafs, insects and small vertebrates, this omnivore loves to feed on the sweet sap of certain species of eucalyptus, acacia and gum trees. LINK: Presurfer
