"Pygmy glider" is another name for the smallest species of glider, the Feathertail Glider. Like all gliders, it belongs to the possum family (which is different from the 'opossum' family), and so it is a marsupial.

Hi,
that is an easy one there is only around 3000 to 4000.
do you know what would happen if Pygmy possums became extinct
There are actually no accurate figures for current pygmy possum populations, as these elusive creatures are not easy for researchers to track. It was estimated that, in 1991, there were about 2,300 pygmy possums in the wild. This figure was up from the 1986 figure of around 2,000. However, a more recent study has suggested that the current figure is only around 1,800 adults.
