1. Both are small, gliding, tree-dwelling mammals.

2. Both have patagia connecting the wrists and the ankles, allowing them to glide.

3. Both are omnivorous.

4. Both usually live in holes in trees.

5. Both have the same body structure: short, pointed faces, short triangular ears, large eyes, long skinny bodies, patagia, short thin legs, and long flat tails (used as rudders when gliding).

They are a good example of convergent evolution.
