## Caption

Australia | The sugar glider gets its name from its preference for sugary food, like saps and nectars, and for its ability to glide through the air. These nocturnal marsupials have a membrane called a patagium that goes from its forelegs to its handles and allows it to glide, which gives it the ultimate escape from predators and easy access to hard-to-reach meals.
