The sugar glider is a small possum that has evolved the ability to glide via membranes between the hands and feet. Gliding from tree to tree (rather than climbing) uses less energy and is also a means of evading predators. The sugar glider can glide over distances of up to 50 m / 164 ft. The sugar glider has a body and tail length of around 27 cm / 10.63 in. It is nocturnal and omnivorous. Its diet consists of the sap / gum from trees, fruits and insects. They have become popular pets in the U.S. in recent years. Would you like to have one of these gliding mammals as a pet?

The Tasmanian devil is the largest carnivorous marsupial, similar in size to a small dog and typically black with white patches. It is a powerfully-built animal, with a proportionally stronger bite force than any other carnivorous mammal. After a short, 21-day pregnancy, a female gives birth to a large litter of 20-30 undeveloped young, but since she only has four nipples, only up to four can survive. The young attach to the teats, live in the rear-facing pouch for about four months, and are weaned by around six months. It mainly scavenges but can also hunt. It went extinct on mainland Australia 3,000 years ago and was only found on Tasmania and was reintroduced in the mainland in 2020 to protect against disease. Have you ever seen a Tasmanian devil in real life?
