Sugar Bear



The animal that I picked for this project is the Sugar Bear. The Sugar Bears scientific classification is  Animalia   Chordata   Mammalia   Diprotodontia   Patauridae   Petaurus   Petaurus Breviceps. The characteristics of the family Patauridae is that they are all have aposable thumbs, they can be white, black, brown or tan, and grey. They all have huge ears so they can hear very clearly and be able to tell where the sound is coming from. There is not so many animals in the Sugar Bear family but i found four and they are the Greater Glider, Lemur like ring tailed possum, Northern Glider, and the Squrril Glider. The Sugar Bear ,moves on four legs and somtimes with there tail. What I mean by with there tail is that they would start swinging in one spot hanging by there tail and let go and they glid through the air. Tey eat like we do they hold there food like we hold a sandwitch with there thumbs and they take bites in to it. The Sugar bear likes to eat insects, honey dew, and acacia tree. When Sugar Gliders   are born there moms can have one to two joeys at a time. They gestate for 15 to 17 days. They grow up to be 24 to 30 cm long and males are usally bigger then the females. They adapt to there enviorment like they do not smell literally they do not smell so they can not be followed by predators. the next adaptatipon is they have fur that blends them into there surroundings. Last is they have huge ears so they hear very well better then some kinds of dogs. This is all the information that I found about the amazing sugar bear.
