How do pygmy gliders glide?
Pygmy gliders, like other members of the glider family, have membranes which extend from their wrists to their ankles. As they launch out from tree tops, they extend their hands and feet so that the membrance stretches out, and ride on the air currents for some distance until they reach a point of destination, which may be up to 20 metres away. Pygmy gliders are the smallest of the glider family, weighing less than 14 grams, which also assists their gliding.
