There are probably millions of sugar gliders left in the world. They are abundant in their native habitat of Australia, and they have been introduced to New Guinea, New Zealand and Indonesia.
In addition, these delicate creatures have been taken as exotic pets overseas, where many have been released into the wild when their owners have tired of them.

Which species of possum is able to fly?
No species of possum is able to fly. In fact, no marsupial is able to fly. However, there are many species of Gliders - small marsupials, similar to possums, which can glide between treetops. Varieties include the Sugar Glider, Feathertail Glider, Greater Glider, Squirrel Glider, Pygmy Glider and Yellow bellied Glider. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most species can glide up to 90 metres, while the squirrel glider has been recorded at 100m. The only mammal capable of actual flight is the bat.
Is the possum threatened?
