Here’s a critter I’d never seen before

Yep night time critters for sure.

Hence the giant eyes I guess

Turkey hunting in So Dakota one morning and see one flying about 150 feet from a tree. Cool watching, but it was larger than the one in the pic.

Had one as a pet when I was a teenager. Very very cool little dudes

One early morning i start getting frantic text from my grandson. He was probably about 14 at the time hunting a box stand down from me. He said he had creatures jumping on him. I told him what they were, but he still ended up sitting on the ground under the stand the rest of the morning.

It's like they are enjoying the 'ball room' at Chuck E Cheese!

Haha.

Never saw one in my life. Spent most of it in SE Tx and South Tx

Thanks for sharing the photo

Weve got’em all over our woods in CTX. They scratch around the walls and attic at night. Ive trapped several in the attic. I found one dead in a live trap I baited with a peanut butter cracker I used for bait. I stop and wonder about that critter everytime I open one of those cracker packages when Im snacking… am I gonna die from this peanut butter cracker?

We call them Sugar Gliders.
MrCoyote, those are probably the biggest and fattest sugar gliders Ive seen. Adults for sure. Fat kids found the cookie jar.

Flying squirrels and sugar gliders are 2 different animals. Sugar gliders are marsupials and from Australia or someplace around there. Flying squirrels are rodents.

Every time I look at these I automatically think of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Those rascals need a pair of fighter pilot goggles on.

I wonder what they taste like with bacon wrapped around them.

Lotta work for 3 ounces of meat... I'd just eat the bacon

Yes, My father and also my Grandfathers use to take them to school in their shirt pocket and play with them after lunch

My father did the same.
