The "sugar" part of the sugar glider's name comes from the fact that these marsupials have a preference for sweet foods, even though fruits, nectar and saps are not the only thing they eat.
The "glider" part of their name comes from the fact that they can glide from treetop to treetop (or power poles and other high points). They have a skin membrane which extends from their wrists to their ankles. When they launch out into the air, they spread their limbs and the skin membranes catch the air currents and allow them to glide to another level.
