	Nature Feature - Feathertail Glider
		Also known as the Pygmy Glider, Pygmy Phalanger and Flying Mouse, the Feathertail Glider can be identified by its feather-like tail which is found in no other Australian mammal (although it is found in related species from New Guinea).
		With a status of common, the Feathertail Glider is widely distributed in the tall, well watered eucalypt forests of the eastern coast of Australia and extends inland into the drier regions of more stunted sclerophyll forest and woodland.
		Although arboreal, it is not restricted to the forest canopy.

	Feathertail Glider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The most obvious feature of the Feathertail Glider, however, is the tail that gives it its name: it is about the same length as the combined head/body, quite thin, moderately prehensile, and almost hairless except for the two very obvious rows of long, stiff hairs on either side.
		The natural habitat of the Feathertail Glider is the eastern seaboard of Australia, and the glider's distribution is from North-Queensland to Victoria.
		The Feathertail Glider was featured on the Australian 1 cent coin, until it was withdrawn from circulation in 1991.

	Profile - Sugar Glider
		The sugar glider uses a range of calls, including a shrill yapping which is often heard when a predator is near by, a sharp shriek which is emitted when individuals fight and a distinct gurgling chatter is emitted by individuals disturbed in their nest.
		Male sugar gliders possess two large dermal scent-organs, the frontal gland overlying the frontal bone between the eyes and the gular gland at the base of the neck on the ventral side.
		Although sugar gliders are relatively common in the areas where they occur, they are still vulnerable to the effects of logging and fire.

		The Sugar Glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a gliding possum from the genus Petaurus, belonging to the family Petauroidea.
		Gliders have very sharp teeth and claws and are capable of inflicting quite painful scratches and similar injuries.
		Gliders need a varied diet and will do very well on a feeding regime consisting of various fresh and dried fruits, vegetables and nuts, such as apple, pear, fresh sweet corn, carrot, cucumber, sunflower seed, sultanas, banana, rock melon, watermelon, peanuts and almonds.

		Possums are small marsupials with brown or grey fur, ranging in size from the length of a finger (pygmy possums and wrist-winged gliders), to the length of a forearm (brushtails and ringtails).
		All possums are nocturnal and omnivorous, hiding in a nest in a hollow tree during the day and coming out during the night to forage for food.
		About two-thirds of Australian marsupials belong to the order Diprotodontia, which is split into three suborders: the Vombatiformes (wombats and the Koala, 4 species in total); the large and diverse Phalangeriformes (the possums and gliders) and Macropodiformes (kangaroos, potoroos, wallabies and the Musky Rat-kangaroo).

		The feathertail glider in Victoria, Australia, is another species that produces two litters per year and not all males mature before the start of the breeding season following their birth.
		Hence, feathertail gliders might also be expected to show a pattern of sex bias in litters consistent with the FCAH.
		This may be due to the much less-sharply defined breeding seasons in feathertail gliders, compared to those of Virginia opossums, and to their greater longevity.

	Grassy Box Woodlands CMN website: Manage: Squirrel Glider
		The re-discovery of squirrel gliders became known in 1995 when an injured squirrel glider was discovered by a local landholder on their property 'Thurso', 5kin south of Burrumbuttock.
		Consequently the 'Burrumbuttock Squirrel Glider Project' was born, using the squirrel glider as an iconic species to capture landholder interest and raise awareness of woodland dependent animals.
		The Landcare Group's application was based on research that suggested glider populations may be constrained by the loss of wattle understorey (the sap of some wattles providing an alternative food source to eucalypt nectar and insects) and a reduction in old trees with hollows.
