The Flying Koalas You Never Knew Existed


Listen Later

The greater glider, the largest gliding marsupial, can glide up to 100 meters and sports cartoonish ears. Resembling flying koalas, they thrive on a eucalyptus diet. Discover why they're not more prominent in conversation.


From apex predators to the planet's strangest creatures, Animalogic explores the science, behavior, and biology of the animal kingdom, one species at a time.
