The sugar gliders is characterised by its gliding membrane, known as the patagium, which extends from the forelegs to hindlegs.[8] Gliding serves as an efficient means of both reaching food and evading predators.[5] It is covered in soft, pale grey to brown fur, which is lighter in colour on their underside. The sugar glider is endemic to parts of mainland Australia, New Guinea and certain Indonesian islands; and it was introduced to Tasmania,[probably in the 1830s
