Where do all the sugar gliders live?

Gliders, of which there are six different species in Australia, live in bushland and rainforests in eastern and northern Australia.

Habitat conditions preferred by gliders include rainforests and bushland (both wet and dry sclerophyll forest). They can adapt to cool-temperate climates, such as that found in the Tasmanian bushland, and warmer, humid bushland and rainforests of northern Australia.

Most gliders are healthiest in drier eucalyptus bushland rather than moist rainforest. They prefer areas where there is a variety of Eucalypt species, and an understorey of acacias or wattles.
