The sugar glider is a marsupial, just like many other Australians animals’ – the kangaroo, the koala, and the wombat for instance. The sugar glider is a possum – very similar to Tupai in Indonesia. It basically lives in trees. It eats leaves and fruits. However, the Australian sugar glider has a very special skill. It can jump from tree to tree like a tupai but it can also ‘sort of fly’ as well. In fact, it glides or ‘terbang’ in bahasa Indonesia. When it jumps from one tree to another it spreads its four legs out wide; its extra skin also spreads out and functions like a parachute.
