A first for me, and we saw another perhaps half a km away. Watched this tiny creature run up a bare branch high in a dead tree, then glide down, and way across to another tree, when we got closer it peered at us under the branch, but then sat and posed for a quick photo. It was (eating sap?) in the same location when we walked back past some time later. A delightful encounter!

Hi @Christine There was a boom in number of Krefft's (formerly Sugar) Gliders in the sanctuary after foxes were fenced out.
