Greater Glider

Also known as Southern Greater Glider, Greater Gliding Possum

Greater gliders are Australia's largest gliding marsupials, capable of silently soaring up to 100 meters between old-growth tree canopies using broad membrane folds that extend from elbow to ankle. They feed almost exclusively on nutrient-poor eucalyptus leaves, spending daylight hours resting inside large hollow trunks before emerging at dusk. Their thick, fluffy fur varies from dark charcoal to pure white, and their enormous bushy tails act as rudders during long silent glides.
