is a smallÃÂ marsupialÃÂ originally native to eastern and northern mainlandÃÂ Australia,ÃÂ New Guinea, and theÃÂ Bismarck Archipelago, and introduced toÃÂ Tasmania. It is called a sugar glider because it likes to feed on the sugary sap from certain trees, and can jump from trees and glide through the air to another tree. They live in trees, and rarely travel on the ground. They eat many foods, but mostly tree sap and insects. They look and act much like aÃÂ flying squirrel, but they are not related. Sugar gliders are actually related toÃÂ possums
