Sugar gliders can be found in Aulstralia, Tasmania, indonesia, and New Guinea. They get their name from their love of sugar and their ability to glide from tree to tree using the webbed area between their body and back legs along with their tails. They can glide over 150 feet. They are marsupials, like kangaroos or wombats, they keep their babies, called joeys, in a pouch for awhile. At around 4 months of age joeys are able to survive on their own outside of the pouch. In the wild sugar gliders live in trees and rarely touch the ground. They also can live in groups up to 15-30 gliders.
