Detox Doodles!

This is a habit of drawing something every time I feel the urge to scroll unnecessarily. It helps stop the bad habit and start a new good habit of sketching daily!

This page is all about cute little sugar gliders!

Sketchbook page of drawings of sugar gliders in teal ink. There are 7 drawings and the top of the page is labeled "Sugar Gliders" with the date 5/20/25. The top is one with its tongue sticking out, one gliding ("woosh" and "whee"), and a baby one. Below that is one on a branch, one holding some fingers, a small face, and a sleeping one.

NEW: We’ve got 51 sugar gliders coming to our Nevins Farm adoption center this week! They were rescued from a breeder last spring in Puerto Rico, where it is illegal to have them as #pets. The gliders were transferred to the Humane Society of the United States, which is caring for them until they will be brought to Massachusetts by St. Huberts #Animal Welfare Center. 1/

Krefft's Glider, the local species of #SugarGlider on #MountMajura in #Canberra tonight.

This is a still from a low-quality video:

Face of small grey mammal with a white underside and black stripes on top of the head peering between branches of a tree. Its nose is pink, and it's possible to see the folded skin between its legs that it uses to glide between trees.

warm-up doodle revamp of a normal/flying fakemon i came up with back in 2017 based on sugar gliders/greater gliders.

#riftclawart #pokemon #fakemon #sugarglider #greaterglider

Three sets of digital drawings of the same two creatures. One is a small, sugar glider-like creater with grey fur, pale grey underbelly, and dark grey markings and tail, and pink skin ears and feet. The other is a taller, greater glider-like creature with  a darker grey body, a pale grey face with grey markings, fluffy ears, and a big fluffy tail that is almost wing-shaped. The two on the right are old coloured sketches, with heavier markings; the four on the right are more streamlined, with the lower two displaying a brown and tan alternate palette.

Sugar Glider - Petaurus breviceps

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum. The common name refers to its predilection for sugary foods such as sap and nectar and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel. They have very similar habits and appearance to the flying squirrel, despite not being closely related—an example of convergent evolution. The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics.

The sugar glider is characterised by its pair of gliding membranes, known as patagia, which extend from its forelegs to its hindlegs. Gliding serves as an efficient means of reaching food and evading predators. The animal is covered in soft, pale grey to light brown fur which is countershaded, being lighter in colour on its underside.

The sugar glider, as strictly defined in a recent analysis, is only native to a small portion of southeastern Australia, corresponding to southern Queensland and most of New South Wales east of the Great Dividing Range; the extended species group, including populations which may or may not belong to P. breviceps, occupies a larger range covering much of coastal eastern and northern Australia, New Guinea, and nearby islands. Members of Petaurus are popular exotic pets; these pet animals are also frequently referred to as "sugar gliders", but recent research indicates, at least for American pets, that they are not P. breviceps but a closely related species, ultimately originating from a single source near Sorong in West Papua. This would possibly make them members of the Krefft's glider (P. notatus), but the taxonomy of Papuan Petaurus populations is still poorly resolved. (Text Source: Wikipedia)

Does anyone here have a #SugarGlider? (They’re sometimes called #PocketPets.)

I’m interested in knowing how energetic they are. I’m thinking about getting one or two to keep with my (eventual) dog when I leave. I’d like to know how demanding of attention they would be, aside from wanting to sleep in my bag/pouch.

Sugar Glider - Petaurus breviceps

The sugar glider (Petaurus breviceps) is a small, omnivorous, arboreal, and nocturnal gliding possum belonging to the marsupial infraclass. The common name refers to its preference for sugary foods like sap and nectar and its ability to glide through the air, much like a flying squirrel. They have very similar habits and appearance to the flying squirrel, despite not being closely related—an example of convergent evolution. The scientific name, Petaurus breviceps, translates from Latin as "short-headed rope-dancer", a reference to their canopy acrobatics.
The sugar glider is characterised by its gliding membrane, known as the patagium, which extends from its forelegs to its hind legs, one on each side of its body. Gliding serves as an efficient means of reaching food and evading predators. The animal is covered in soft, pale grey to light brown fur which is countershaded, being lighter in colour on its 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. It is a popular exotic pet but is prohibited in some regions, including parts of Australia and the United States. (Source: Wikipedia)

Sugar Glider in flight

These small, nocturnal marsupials glide silently for up to 50 m between trees seeking sweet tree sap and nectar. Also known as ‘Bagu’ in the Gamilaraay language, an Aboriginal group whose land extends from southern Queensland to New South Wales.

Threats to sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) include bushfires, deforestation, land clearing for agriculture, feral animals and barbed-wire fences.

#SugarGlider #Flight #Gliding #Marsupial #Australia

A sugar glider floats like a kite through the night air, limbs outstretched in order to open fleshy ‘sails’ connecting its four paws. Its body is light tan in color, with large dark eyes and a brown triangular head patch between its small snout and tiny ears. It looks like a small possum that has transformed its body into a square kite, suitable for flight.
