Does a squirrel glider have a pouch?

In: Flying Mammals, Marsupials, Chipmunks and Squirrels [Edit categories]

Answer:

Yes. Squirrel gliders are marsupials, one of six gliders found in Australia. The female has a pouch in which she rears her young.

The squirrel glider should not be confused with the "flying squirrel" endemic to parts of the northern hemisphere. This creature is a placental mammal.
