	Sugar Gliders are marsupials, the same family as kangaroos and koala bears. Since they are marsupials, female Sugar Gliders have a pouch on their belly where they raise their babies for two and a half months after they are born. Male Sugar Gliders go bald! Actually, they just have one bald spot on their head, which is really a scent gland. Sugar Gliders can glide up to 45 meters (148.5 ft.) and can even catch moths while they glide? Because of the way Sugar Gliders stand up and make loud noises to intimidate potential predators, they are sometimes called Sugar Bears? Sugar Gliders' hands AND feet each have four fingers and opposable thumbs Sugar Gliders' fingers and toes are sharp like hooks. This lets them hook onto lots of surfaces (as long as they aren't too slick!).
