Why Sugar Glider is endangered?
The major environmental threat to this animal is habitat fragmentation with the clearing of forests by humans. Predators include kookaburras, owls, goannas, snakes, quolls and feral cats. Humans also steal baby sugar gliders from their nests and raise them as pets or sell them on the illegal black market.
