A flying squirrel, certain types of snakes and a flying fish. These all can glide through the air without wings.
Flying snakes glide by jumping out of trees and flattening their bellies while stretching extra belly skin out wards to create more space for the air to press against. Then they glide through the air and into other trees. It's more like a controlled fall-glide a then flying.
Because they have large pectoral fins that are almost like wings. They can glide through the air, almost flying.
Flying squirrels can glide for distances of up to 150 feet (45 meters) in a single glide, using their patagium, a furry membrane between their front and back limbs that helps them glide through the air. Their ability to steer and control their glide allows them to maneuver effectively between trees and avoid obstacles.

Snakes in the genus Chrysopelea are gliding animals. No other snakes can glide.These snakes are often called 'flying snakes', but of course, they do not actually fly. They can glide for amazing distances. This is accomplished by their flattening their long ribs to turn themselves into (essentially) a very long wing, and then undulating through the air as though swimming.
Flying fish have adapted to glide through the air to escape predators and cover longer distances. They have specially shaped fins that act like wings to help them glide above the water's surface. By rapidly beating their tail fins against the water, they generate enough speed to lift themselves into the air and glide for considerable distances.
Flying dragon lizards have adaptations such as skin flaps that act as wings to glide between trees, powerful hind legs for launching into the air, and a slender body for better aerodynamics. Their ability to glide helps them escape predators and move efficiently between trees in their forest habitat.
The animal known as the sugar glider is a marsupial with the capability to glide through the air in a flying fashion. The sugar glider is rare and related to the possum.
That is the correct spelling of the verb "glide" (through the air or across a surface).
Flying squirrels don't actually fly; instead, they glide through the air using a special membrane called the patagium, which stretches from their wrists to their ankles. When they leap from a height, they spread their limbs and the patagium expands, allowing them to glide efficiently. This adaptation helps them navigate through trees and evade predators. Their lightweight bodies and flat tails also aid in steering and stabilizing their glides.
The Flying Fish Well it cant really fly but it can glide in the air above the sea
