Petaurus breviceps
The sugar glider’s fur is a blue-grey to brown grey above with a dark stripe that extends from the middle of the head to the mid-back region. The tail can have a white tip whereas the squirrel glider never has a white tip. The face of the sugar glider is blunter than the squirrel glider as well. The glider is about the size of a rat, the tail is about the thickness of a human thumb and is slimmer than the squirrel glider.

Thank you! The sugar glider is on a Jacaranda tree
Beautiful ! It doesn't look like it's normal tree of choice... more like a birch or prunus type?? Welcome to Project Noah.
