Sugar gliders are small marsupials native to parts of Australia and New Guinea. They are known for their ability to fly, or glide, from tree to tree. While sugar gliders have become popular exotic pets in the United States, they are illegal to keep in some states and require permits in others. In addition, sugar gliders require lots of care and may be very expensive to keep over their lifespan.
