The sugar glider is a marsupial, just like the many other Australian animals – the kangaroo, the
koala and the wombat for instance. The sugar glider is a possum – very similar to the tupai in
Indonesia. It basically lives in trees. It eats leaves and fruit. However, the Australian sugar glider
has a very special skill. It can jump from tree to tree like a tupai but it can also `sort of fly’ as
well. In fact, it glides or terbang layang in Bahasa Indonesia. When it jumps from one tree to
another it spreads its four legs out wide; and its extra skin also spreads out and functions like a
parachute.

The largest meat-eating animal in the world is the brown bear that lives in Alaska. “Brownie”, as
this bear is called, will always keep away from people. But, be careful if it is wounded with a
gun or the mother bear and her cubs are shocked. Some hunters claim the brown bear can
outfight a tiger.
A grown brownie may be up to nine feet tall. It may weigh over 1,600 pounds. But home when
the brown bear is born, it weighs less than one pound. If you grew at the same rate, you would
weigh almost 10,000 pounds when you were fully grown!
Elephants are the largest land animals on earth. They have the largest brains of
any mammal. Elephants talk to each other. Researchers have discovered
more than 50 different types of calls that they use to communicate with each other.
Their trunks are strong enough to pick up trees but sensitive enough to pick up
flowers They use them as tools to sweep paths, to scratch themselves,
to swat flies, and to draw in the dir They are good swimmers and use
their trunks like snorkels. They live together in family groups. They help
each other when in trouble. They join together to care for and rescue their young.
