Yes, sugar gliders possess camouflage traits that aid in their survival. Their fur typically has a grayish-brown color with lighter underparts, allowing them to blend in with the tree bark and foliage of their natural habitat. This coloration helps them avoid predators while they glide between trees. Additionally, their nocturnal lifestyle further enhances their ability to remain concealed during the night.
