| Action: changed name from "Petaurus australis" to "Petaurus breviceps
" |
| Reviewer's comments: | | | | "Per Kyle Craig: I cannot tell with complete certainty from the photo as certain characteristics are obscured, but it would probably be one of the following: Petaurus breviceps, P. norfolcensis, or P. gracilis. It is most likely P. breviceps as this is the most common of the three species I have mentioned. P. norfolcensis usually has a quite busy tail and is a bit rarer, while P. gracilis is quite rare and extremely limited in its distribution. P. breviceps (common name: sugar glider) often has a white tip on its tail, which is partially obscured in this photo a bit, though upon careful investigation it appears that it is present.
