Is sugar gliders and endangered

Answer 1

Sugar gliders are not endangered. In their native habitat of Australia, they are quite common in the eastern states.

Although small and delicate, they have not suffered as much from habitat loss as other native creatures, as their needs are not as specialised. The greatest threat comes from introduced species such as foxes and feral cats and dogs. Native predators include the quoll (not as common in many sugar glider habitats) and owls. Bushfires in the southern states are a threat to sugar gliders, as these destroy their habitat and food source.

There are also many being kept as exotic pets overseas. In Australia, they protected creatures, and only permitted to be kept in sanctuaries with a permit.

Answer 3

Native animals, particularly arboreal ones such as such as kookaburras, quokkas, owls and goannaswill readily prey on sugar gliders.

Quolls are carnivorous, cat-sized climbing marsupials that prey on smaller mammals. Tasmanian Devils cannot climb, but they will certainly prey on sugar gliders that are not safe in trees.

Unfortunately, feral cats, domestic dogs and foxesare becoming more of a problem. Sugar gliders have no defence against introduced creatures such as these.

The greatest threat to sugar gliders is man, through habitat loss and tree-felling, and in conjunction with this, man's irresponsibility in allowing domestic animals such as cats and dogs to roam unsupervised in bushland. Introduced native species such as the fox prey on sugar gliders.

Answer 4

Whilst habitat loss is a danger to sugar gliders, they are not even remotely in danger of becoming extinct. The sugar glider's conservation status is listed as of "least concern".

Answer 5

Sugar gliders are not at all endangered, however many of their relatives (such as the greater glider) are.

Answer 6

Suger Glider are not endangered.
