Taronga Zoo – Glider crossing
You will need:
pens and coloured pencils
a workbook or paper
Gliders are small possums with skin membranes, stretching between their front and hind legs, that enable them to glide through the air.
Squirrel Gliders are often mistaken for the more common Sugar Glider. The Squirrel Glider is larger, with a long, bushy tail and a long, pointed face. Their fur is usually a brown-grey colour, with a darker stripe on their head and down the back. They have a broad, bushy tail which is similar in colour to their upper body and has a distinctive dark tip.
Use the information above about the two types of gliders to drag the characteristics to the correct glider.
Select the blue 'Submit' button once you have moved all of the characteristics onto the correct picture.
Hint! Some characteristics are shared by both animals.
Watch the video to learn about Marley the Sugar glider.
