Greater Glider

Greater glider, Petauroides volans

Amanda & I were driving in Hunter valley forest last night when we saw a pair of eyes staring back at us from the top of a very large Eucalyptus sp tree.  This is a Greater glider,  which is essentially a Sugar glider that has been abusing steroids.  They are a truly majestic animal, the size of a large cat, with about 70 cm of long bushy tail.
