Sugar gliders are popular exotic pets

Sugar gliders are popular exotic pets (considered to be any pet that's not a cat, dog, or farm animal). They're small, cute, and unique little marsupials that are native to Australia and parts of Indonesia. Their bodies are similar to a squirrel’s with gray fur and black markings. They also have a gliding membrane—a thin, skin-like structure that extends from the front to back limbs on each side almost like wings—that helps them travel among trees.
