Mammal 2


I was walking through the rainforest and out of the corner of my eye I saw a small animal flying right at me. It flew right over my head and landed on a tree to the right of me. It looked like A small possum that could fly! It was a pretty neat looking animal and I liked it. I found out it was called a sugar glider and lives in mainly Australia and also a couple islands around Indonesia. These animals are nocturnal so they sleep mainly through the day and sleep at night. These animals are a tan color, have a bushy tail, and have blue eyes. Larger animals like panthers and reptiles like pythons and anacondas eat these animals. The sugar glider eats mostly plants and small bugs. The babies are called joeys and usually have two at a time when they're born.
