Multiple gliders emerging from hollows within the ANBG. Feeding on Eucalyptus and Acacia species. In close proximity to each other, assuming a family group ?

Hi Leah, good one! This species lives in family groups of a dominant male, some adult females, and some offspring. The male marks them all with his scent gland. They move between several hollows in their home range. For future reference, identification of species with tails is often easier if one of the photos includes the tail. cheers
