Male versus Female Genitalia

Forked Penis-Extracted


Lower, Front Teeth
The lower gums actually retract from around the teeth allowing for the glider to bite into the bark of trees.

Patagium (wings)

Partial Prehensile Tail
Prehensile means able to carry or hold weight. Partial meaning that it can hold some lighter things, but not their own body weight. The sugar glider's cousin the opossum has a completely prehensile tail that they hang from. Gliders primarily use theirs for balance.

Back Feet with Fused Toes
The fused toes are used as combs for grooming.
