Bats and sugar gliders are both warm blooded, air breathing mammals. As mammals, they nurture their young on mothers' milk. Also, both being mammals, their limbs are oriented vertically, they have a four-chambered heart and they have a flexible neck with seven cervical vertebrae.
That is where the similarities end.
Bats are placental mammals and gliders are marsupials. Bats are capable of free flight; sugar gliders can only glide between tree tops. Bats have wings which are made of leathery skin stretched across bones which move like the fingers of a hand. Sugar gliders have a membrane of skin which stretches from their wrists to their ankles, which enables them to glide between treetops. They do not fly but, depending upon the species are capable of gliding between 50m and 80m. They must always launch out from higher points such as treetops or power poles.
