QUOTE(RaFaLe @ Feb 21 2006, 04:38 PM) that squirrel was sitting on top of a durian tree about 6 feet..hidden between 2 split tree trunks..then i slowly climb..gotcha la.. just grab it with gloves.. put him in a cage..but the next day, it died.. i dunno why.. myb he was sick ur injured..coz it didnt fight to release frm me.. i think so.. ya, maybe could be hurt...that's why you can catch it easily. Didn't you mentioned it was still baby? I think it needs feeding from it's mom.

haha, i read about this flying squirrel last time while researching about SG, both are CUTE! flying squirrel sugar glider their big eye and the "wing" make them look alike. But sugar gliders and flying squirrels also have some key differences. Most importantly, they reproduce and bear their babies in fundamentally different ways:
Flying squirrels are placental mammals. Placental mammals spend a long time developing inside the mother's body being nourished by a placenta before they are born. Sugar gliders are marsupial mammals, like kangaroos. Marsupial mammals may only spend a short time developing inside the mother's body and are very tiny when born. After birth, a baby marsupial crawls into its mother's pouch and is nourished by her milk as it continues to grow and develop

Pretty interesting article. I would say the easiest way to differentiate would be the markings on the sugar gliders face though, hehe
