	Profile - Sugar Glider (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		DNA analyses are being undertaken to investigate whether all sugar gliders in Tasmania originally stemmed from these escaped individuals.
		Intermediate in size between the tiny feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus) and the greater glider (Petauroides volans), the sugar glider can plane for at least 100 m.
		It leaps from a tree, spreading the membranes (patagium) which extent on each side of the body from the fifth finger to the first toe of the foot, steering and maintaining stability by the long bushy tail and by varying the curvature of the right or left membrane.

	CSIRO PUBLISHING - Wildlife Research
		Faecal samples were collected from gliders in a dry sclerophyllous forest in Victoria at intervals from Aug. 1980 until Aug. 1982.
		The pollen grains were mostly empty, and it was assumed that pollen provided the glider with protein.
		The potential importance of A. pygmaeus as a pollinator is discussed.

	Living Harbour - Marsupials
		Two hundred years ago Sydney Harbour supported a diverse array of marsupials ranging in size from the Swamp Wallaby Wallabia bicolor to the tiny Feathertail Glider Acrobates pygmaeus.
		The Australian Museum's collection contains representatives of eleven different marsupials that lived around the harbour during the mid-late 1800s and early 1900s.
		They occupy remnant bushland, parks and many suburban backyards feeding on leaves, flowers and fruits from a range of native and introduced plant species (including rosebuds in the case of the Ringtail Possum).

	San Diego Zoo's Got Questions?: Honey mice
		One of the difficulties in talking about animals is that common names change from place to place, and one animal can have many names.
		What you probably are looking for is the Australian feathertail glider Acrobates pygmaeus, which looks like a mouse and feeds on pollen and nectar.
		It isn't really a mouse, though, it's a tiny marsupial that raises its babies in a pouch the way koalas and kangaroos do.
