The only mammal that can truly fly is a bat. It is the only mammal capable of free flight, able to launch into flight from a still position.
There are other types of gliding mammals, such as sugar gliders and numerous other varieties of glider, marsupials commonly found in Australia, and flying squirrels. These animals can glide using membranes which extend from their wrists to their elbows. Unlike bats, these animals must launch from a high point in order to glide to a lower point, covering up to 50 metres of ground. This is useful for jumping large distances between trees. There are also the flying lemurs or colugos, which can only parachute jump.
