Gliding possum
There are many different types of gliding possum, sometimes referred to as volplane possum, flying phalangers, or simply as gliders:
Australian gliders
- Feathertail glider or pygmy gliding possum, Acrobates pygmaeus
- Greater glider, Petauroides volans
- Mahogany glider, Petaurus gracilis
- Squirrel glider, Petaurus norfolcensis
- Sugar glider, Petaurus breviceps
- Yellow-bellied glider or fluffy glider, Petaurus australis
New Guinea gliders
- Biak glider, Petaurus biacensis
- Northern glider, Petaurus abidi
A characteristic of all species of marsupial gliders is the partially fused (syndactylous) second and third digits on the hind feet. They achieve gliding flight by use of membranes called patagia.
