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.

∙ 11y agoYes - 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.
