The greater glider is the largest gliding marsupial in the world. They're as big as a cat and can glide for up to 100 meters. They also have cartoonishly adorable ears and live on a diet of eucalyptus. They're like flying koalas from outer space. So why are we not talking about these animals all the time? Let's find out in this episode of Animalogic.
