Sugar Gliders are very cute and furry. They live in the tall eucalypt forests on the coastal ranges of Kangaroo Valley. They glide by stretching out their front and back limbs which are connected by a membrane, they can cover distances of 50m at a time. Sugar gliders feed at night and have a diet of nectar, insects, sap and pollen. If you spend time in these forests at night you will often hear their call a bit like a soft dog bark...'Yip, yip, yip'. They nest in tree hollows in mature forests. Habitat loss due to clearing is a threat to their survival. Sugar gliders are protected in NSW.

You will be lucky to actually see a sugar glider but walking in the wetter, taller forests at night you may hear them calling each other.
