Sugar Gliders are small marsupial animals that are usually found in Australia and surrounding islands. They have flaps of skin between their front and back legs, allowing them to briefly glide between one tree and another in their search of food, mates, and shelter.

What is difference between gliding and flying?

Only one mammal can truly fly, the bat. True flight is when the animal can flap its wings to gain height, birds and bats. Gliders launch themselves from height and spread the flaps of loose skin from front to rear paws, like a hang glider, from one tree-top to half way down the next.

Why do planes have flaps on the wings?

Airplane wings are designed to be most efficient when at high altitudes, traveling fast, while providing as little drag as possible. Unfortunately this design inst the best for takeoff and landing. Flaps are used to change the shape of the wing to accommodate takeoff and landing requirements. Most planes have flaps on the front of the wings (leading edge flaps) and at the back of the wings. During takeoff flaps increase lift so a plane can take off with limited runway length and lower speeds. As the plane gains speed the flaps are retracted. On approach and landing you want to fly as slow as possible so the flaps are deployed in increments till landing speed is achieved. Landing slower means less runway needed to stop.
