The geographic range of the squirrel glider ( Petaurus norfolcensis) in south-eastern Australia largely corresponds with fertile soils highly suited for agriculture.
norfolcensis in south-eastern Australia is now reliant on a mosaic of many fragmented and isolated patches of woodland and forest.
While currently supporting a stable, high-density population, the long-term viability of these remnants as habitat is not assured because roadside reserves are narrow, easily fragmented and subjected to a host of deleterious processes causing ongoing habitat loss and degradation.

The abundance of P. norfolcensis was positively correlated with Acacia density and canopy width, and negatively correlated with distance to the nearest intersection with another linear remnant.
Petaurus norfolcensis were resident within the linear network and their density (0.95 - 1.54 ha-1) was equal to the maximum densities recorded for this species in continuous forest elsewhere in south-eastern Australia.
Overall, the population dynamics of P. norfolcensis were comparable with published results for the species in contiguous forest, clearly suggesting that the linear remnants currently support a self-sustaining, viable population.

norfolcensis found that during winter, individuals spent 98% of their foraging time searching in eucalypts for honeydew and manna, which offer similar energy rewards to nectar.
norfolcensis can thrive in the absence of winter flowering species, but when eucalypts are in flower they will utilise these nectar sources to supplement other more reliable, year-round energy sources.

Populations of Petaurus norfolcensis are distributed throughout eastern Queensland, eastern New South Wales, Victoria, and southeast South Australia (Nowak 1999).
Squirrel gliders, Petaurus norfolcensis, are similar to sugar gliders, Petaurus breviceps, in general appearance, but are twice as large (Nowak 1999).
Squirrel gliders are nocturnal, arboreal animals that utilize a membrane stretching between fore- and hindlimbs to move from tree to tree (Nowak 1999).

However, in the apparent absence of further specimens to examine, it came to be regarded as a subspecies of the more common squirrel glider, Petaurus norfolcensis and was "lost" as a species for 100 years.
Based on a reexamination of old skins in 1986, it was again elevated to the status of a full species, and living animals were found in the wild in 1989.

 A guide to medicine and surgery in sugar gliders
The sugar glider is in the family Petauridae, which comprises striped possums (Dactylopsila trivirgata), Leadbeater's possums (Gymnobelideus leadbeateri), and wristwinged gliders (Petaurus species).
There are seven species in the genus Petaurus, of which four are found in Australia-sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps; Figure 1), squirrel gliders (Petaurus norfolcensis), mahogany gliders (Petaurus gracilis), and yellowbellied gliders (Petaurus australis).
Sugar gliders, the most widespread and smallest members of the Petaurus species, are arboreal, volant (capable of flight), and nocturnal animals that normally live in eucalyptus forests in northern and eastern Australia and New Guinea.

 The Mahogany Glider
The Mahogany glider Petaurus gracilis was officially described in 1883 by Charles De Vis.
In his description De Vis described the Mahogany glider as intermediate in size between Squirrel Glider, Petaurus norfolcensis and the Yellow-bellied glider, Petaurus australis.
Finally in the early hours of December 6 1989 living specimens of Petaurus gracilis were located on freehold land at Barrett's Lagoon (18o02'S, 145o58'E) 14km southeast of Tully.

A smaller entrance of around 50mm or less was suggested by the work of Barry Traill and Alan Lill, from Monash University, who found that, to exclude squirrel gliders from a nestbox, they had to half-block a 50mm diameter entrance (thus forming a semi-circle).

Cover: The Squirrel Glider Petaurus norfolcensis has been found to occasionally feed on vertebrates.
The Squirrel Glider Petaurus norfolcensis is classified as an exudivore/insectivore feeder, with staple dietary items including insects, insect exudates and plant exudates.
During a study of the foraging ecology of the species in northern Victoria, an adult female glider was observed to harass a nesting Common Bronzewing Phaps chalcoptera, ultimately removing the bird before consuming eggs within the nest.

Originally from the forest of northeast, east and southeast Australia and Papua-New Guina as well as in some of the islands in the Indonesian chain.
The gliders that are seen in the United States are mostly from the Indonesia stock, or more specifically the Petaurus breviceps biacensis subspecies from Biak Island, West Papua, Indonesia.
Back in 1994 when they were first imported they were not as tame and much darker (due to sap of acacia trees that sugar gliders consume in the wild) than the tame domestically raised babies we see to day.

This includes five of the six species of Australia's gliders: Petauroides volans (greater glider), Petaurus norfolcensis (squirrel glider), Petaurus australis (yellow-bellied glider) in Greenbank, Petaurus breviceps (sugar glider), and Acrobates pygmaeus (feather-tailed glider).
• Petaurus breviceps (sugar glider), is likely to occur due to the availability of breeding hollows and preferred food trees including bloodwood, spotted gum and Banksia integrifolia.
These species occur in the spectacular old growth E. racemosa (scribbly gum), which have numerous branch and tree hollows, and the extensive forests provide sufficient food resources and breeding sites for Ninox strenua (powerful owl).
