Yes - sugar gliders can swim when they need to, such as in flooded waters. However, being arboreal, this is a skill that is rarely needed.
It is unfortunate that, with the increasing prevalence of sugar gliders as exotic pets outside of Australia, they can sometimes fall into toilets and buckets of water where, if they cannot get out, they will eventually become exhausted and drown.

Can marsupials swim?
No marsupial is able to fly. However, there are many species of Gliders - small marsupials, similar to possums, which can glide between treetops. Varieties include the Sugar Glider, Feathertail Glider, Greater Glider, Squirrel Glider, Pygmy Glider and Yellow bellied Glider. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most species can glide up to 90 metres, while the squirrel glider has been recorded at 100m.
How much does a glider weigh?
It depends if it is a model glider or a manned glider.
Are sugar gliders the only type of gliders?
No: There are actually six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
What are the gliding marsupials?
The gliding marsupials are the gliders, and they are all members of the possum family. There are six different species of glider found in Australia. They include:Yellow-bellied Glider - Petaurus australisSugar Glider - Petaurus brevicepsSquirrel Glider - Petaurus phalangerGreater Glider - Petaurioides volansFeathertail Glider - Acrobates pygmaeusMahogany Glider - Petaurus gracilis
What is the independent variable of a glider?
The independent variable of a glider, if it is an air glider, would be the thermal updrafts available at any flight. Without effective thermals, it makes it difficult for a glider to maintain lift and develop elevation for sustained glides.
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
How is the yawing in a glider detected?
What is the name of the aircraft that has no engine?
A glider or hang-glider
Is the sugar glider a marsupialia?
The sugar glider is a marsupial
Can sugar gliders fly?
No. Apart from bats, no mammal is capable of free flight. However, Gliders - small marsupials in the possum family - can glide between treetops. Varieties include the Sugar Glider, Feathertail Glider, Greater Glider, Squirrel Glider, Pygmy Glider and Yellow bellied Glider. As they launch, their forelimbs and hind limbs splay out, exposing gliding membranes which extend from the equivalent of their wrists to the knees, and allow them to glide between treetops and poles. Most species can glide up to 90 metres, while the squirrel glider has been recorded at 100m.
What are all the types of glider?
Glider species include:Sugar gliderFeathertail gliderSquirrel gliderGreater gliderMahogany gliderYellow-bellied glider
When was Glider PRO created?
Glider PRO was created in 1991.
Is the Glider endangered?
The squirrel glider (not to be confused with the sugar glider) is currently listed as Lower Risk (near threatened).
