Northern Glider
Latin name- Petaurus Abidi
There really wasn't a lot of information about this animal. But I'll tell you what I learned!
They get the name Glider because they use their wing-like arms to glide from tree to tree.

The Northern Gliders are in danger of becoming extinct! 
Out of most of the gliders ( Sugar Glider, Squirrel Glider, Mohogany Glider, Yellow bellied Glider, and Biak Glider)
the only glider that isn't in danger is the Sugar Glider! 

They are nocturnal ( active during the night time.) 
At night the go looking for sap, nectar, pollen, insects, and honey dew. They are usually solitary ( they are independent). 

What are their traits? 
Well they are known for their huge round eyes. The Northern Glider is usually different shades of brown. 

Here is my drawing of the Northern Glider!
Thank you for reading!
