N.B. To people in many places, certainly the whole East Coast of the US, a gray squirrel is a "regular", i.e. common, squirrel. But in (at least) the Mountain states, there are no gray squirrels! Plain ol' normal squirrels are red! This surprised everyone who ever visited me in Colorado from back East.

Think this person is British (Hence Grey not Gray). Here in the UK invasive Grey Squirrels have almost completely wiped out native Red Squirrels except for a few strongholds in the North, Isle of Wight etc. And most people call them Grey Squirrels as the Reds are 'our' squirrels...

How is that thing different than a flying squirrel? Pictorially speaking, I mean.

Level 69
Mar 15, 2018
Flying squirrels have much more distinct hind legs that extend past their "wings", whereas sugar gliders just have little pink feet. Their faces are also very different; in this picture, the big giveaway is the badger-like stripes, whereas a flying squirrel is a solid color all over. And finally and perhaps most tellingly, thus little guy here doesn't have as floofy a tail!

Flying squirrels are rodents and native to North America.

Sugar gliders are marsupials and are native to Australia.

The look similar but they evolved their adaptations separately like sharks and dolphins.

Some people keep sugar gliders as pets (where exotic species are allowed). They are a riot, and FULL of energy. (Cute, too!) Check them out YouTube for videos; there are a ton!

Um, sugar gliders are **terribly** unsuitable pets. In short, captivity is bad for both the animal and the owner; sugar glider pets are puppy milled, live alone in small cages (whereas natural habitat is extensive and they live in big social groups), and as nocturnal creatures are rambunctious and noisy at night.

The sugar glider trade has been banned in many countries. Where still legal, many retailers have stopped selling them.

There are plenty of ways to feel special without inflicting oneself on a tiny cute unusual animal.

I dont one hundred percent disagree with you @redsplat, but think about it, in the wild before they were domesticated, dogs/wolves live in big family packs out in the open and now they are living in small properties or even apartments. Also horses, same situation and now they are kept in small padocks compared to the hills and sometimes they are even kept alone.

So if you really think about it, any animal can be happy in captivity with some love, attention, and proper care. Although I would strongly recommend not keeping the next wild animal you see. XD

But thats just my opinion...... :)

I think ant bear should be an acceptable answer for the giant anteater. As a non-native speaker I only knew "ant bear" and therefore didn't get it right unfortunately.

"The giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla), also known as the ant bear, is a large insectivorous mammal native to Central and South America. "

Sugar gliders and flying squirrels are two completely different species (a marsupial and a rodent) though they look similar. Pretty sure you have flying squirrel here (tried to find the source of your image and all I could find was articles about co-evolution mentioning both of them).

The sugar glider has a very distinct coloring on his head, with high contrast nearly black vs white. The flying squirrel can have a similar colouring, (lighter around the eyes with a darker triangle between the eyes) but much lighter, like beige and creme. (As in the picture you used) Gliders also dont have skin in front of their arms.

Plus even without colouring, just looking at the face it lookslike a flying squirrel to me, gliders have a bit of a tarsier feel to me.

Here is a comparison side by side
