Because it can be carried around, has a cute appearance, and can glide, many people keep it as a pet. Then do you know what kind of activities the honey glider usually does? What are the characteristics of the activities? Let's take a look with the editor below.
Glider
Activity Features
Like the flying glider, the honey glider develops a skin film between the hands and feet, which enables the honey glider to fly long distances in the treetops. Look into the distance with your eyes, smell the smell, and fly after making a preparation. The honey glider has slender fingers and sharp nails, which are good for climbing.
As an arboreal animal, the sugar glider glides from one tall branch to another by vigorously kicking its powerful hind legs. The long tail helps the glider orient and stabilize its body before landing on its limbs. Gliders are tiny marsupials, measuring just 8 inches (20 centimeters) from head to toe, and 16 inches (40 centimeters) if you include their long tail. Adults weigh about 4 to 5.7 ounces (120 to 160 grams).
Most of the time in the tree. Gliders are nocturnal animals, active at night and sleeping during the day.
The honey glider is a gregarious animal, a typical member of a group consisting of one male glider of the highest status, two second-ranked male gliders, and four mature females. As long as food is plentiful and family members live in peace, the group may number as many as 12.
When raising honey gliders as pets in captivity, at least one pair is required. Sugar gliders that lack companions may self-mutilate because of boredom. It looks lovable, the honey glider is easy to be tamed, it likes to be close to people, and people who have raised it can't put it down.
