In today's episode, we're joined by Brad Valiukas, Managing Director of Kaiser Reef, an Australian gold producer with operations in Victoria and Tasmania. We talk about Brad's journey from his early days on site to leading Kaiser Reef, what's driving the company forward, and his views on gold in today's market. We'll also discuss how his hands-on experience has shaped his leadership and what advice he'd give to the next generation of mining professionals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Broad, hands-on experience in every part of a mining operation is essential, as it helps professionals apply knowledge and understand the needs of their internal "customers". Working for a mining contractor in Australia is strongly recommended early in a career, as it provides diverse experience and helps disseminate good practices throughout the industry. Career success requires a desire to grow and continuously push forward, with a mindset of never being content because every single operation is depleting a resource. When faced with the global financial and geopolitical issues currently impacting the gold market, Kaiser Reef maintains a conservative view on gold price while aiming for maximum exposure to potential price upside. BEST MOMENTS "I always try and get through to everybody is learn every part of the operation." "The contracting industry in Australia is so strong and it's such a big driver for the success." "We never, never ever sitting back in terms of putting eight operations online, basically in eight years, never ever sitting back and saying, right, that's enough, we're in a comfortable position now." "Think of yourself as a mining professional. So you might have an expertise in geology or engineering or surveying or geotech. You know, try and try and let go of that a little bit."

This interview is with Geoff Hall of Argyle Winery. In this interview, Geoff talks about how he got involved in wine - first through botany, then viticulture, and finally through the people he met along the way.Geoff shares about growing up in Boise and attending the University of Idaho with intentions of becoming a doctor. That changed when he took a course in botany, and his professor encouraged him to find a career path he was more passionate about.Geoff talks about being introduced to the viticulture industry and beginning a Master's program, where he studied and published papers about an issue known as “berry shrivel.” Through these studies, he connected with many people in the industry and worked harvests in both Italy and Tasmania.Geoff shares about being interested in the Oregon wine industry and coming to work at Adelsheim. After working at Chateau St. Michele and Erath, he joined the team at Argyle, first as the vineyard manager and now in operations for the entire winery.

About 70,000 years ago, there was a huge piece of land off the coast of Australia that could have supported around half a million people. This land connected modern-day Indonesia to Australia and was part of the North-West Australian Shelf. It used to be part of a bigger landmass called Sahul, which linked Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania into one continent. Today, scientists are mapping this lost "Atlantis" to learn more about it. It's fascinating to think about this ancient world that once existed! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

~ This season of Avant Gardeners is proudly supported by Blundstone's new series WorkLife. Launching in November and perfect for gardening. Find your local stockist here. ~ Emma Horswill was a madkeen gardener with a fine arts degree and a 9-acre block. With plans for a veggie garden and orchard, Emma turned her hand to flower farming in 2019, and since then has gone from strength to strength.  This family run farm, called Earthenry, now grows well over 100 different varieties of seasonal and field-grown blooms, and has cultivated a dedicated community of volunteers and devotees who flock to the farm for events including garden and gossip, twilight flower picking, pick your own mornings, workshops, and seedling sales.  Emma also breeds her own dahlias, makes made-to-order bouquets and sells organically-grown seeds. Emma, her husband Greg and their two teenage children live, work and garden in the beautiful township of Snug, on the lands of the Nuenonne people in Tasmania.  Before we get to that, Maddie & Emily and drinking a Fin Wines' Dandelions and Bumblebees Emily is talking about pea straw, her broody chickens and some tips she's learned from Nicky Husted, aka Purely Chickens. We both went to the Cygnet Garden Market and bought a literal boot load of plants including Mint! Hurray. Chocolate mint, peppermint and basil mint.  Emily is loving The Garden Curator's column in Graziher magazine about observing where the early and late light moves in the garden, and that's where to plant those frothy, tall grasses to catch the light.  Maddie is loving the cows, Hetty McKinnon's dukkah from the Community cookbook, and having garden chats with Emily.  This is our last episode of 2026. Thank you for being here. It means the world. 

Episode Overview What if the stories we watch could help rebuild the social fabric? In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Tyler — co-founder and CEO of good.film, a platform using film and television as a catalyst for connection, empathy and real conversation. With declining social cohesion, rising loneliness and increasing polarisation across Western democracies, Elizabeth believes film offers something we desperately need: a shared narrative space where we can explore complexity together — not through debate, but through emotion, curiosity and story. Elizabeth's career began far from entertainment. From early student activism at UTS, to working on one of Tasmania's most consequential political campaigns, to shaping creative-led advocacy for major nonprofits, her path has always centred on one thing: bringing people together around a vision of what's possible. Today, through good.film, she's building a new category she calls Impact Entertainment — ambitious stories (from blockbusters to indie documentaries) that reveal something meaningful about the world, and help us see one another more fully. We explore how she's turned this mission into a business model, the hidden work of rebuilding social trust, and why film is uniquely positioned to spark the conversations we're no longer having. In This Episode We Explore: Why Elizabeth believes love has to be the starting point for meaningful changemaking – whether it's love of your work, your collaborators, or even those you're “working against”. The fundamental truth that sits under good.film: that stories move us emotionally first – and emotion is what opens us up to new perspectives. How good.film works in practice: from their “impact entertainment” category and recommendation platform, to partnerships with cinemas where every ticket purchased through good.film also donates to a cause. Elizabeth's experience in the Tech Ready Women program, and a gorgeous story about a stranger at a pitching event who changed her trajectory with one handwritten note. Her personal journey from priding herself on not needing help… to intentionally building an advisory board and a community where asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. And her bigger vision: a future where once a month, most of us head to our local cinema – alone or with friends – to watch ambitious stories together and have the kinds of rich, complex conversations we can't have in a comments thread. Across each of these threads runs a single question: how do we rebuild meaningful connection in a fractured world? This is a conversation for anyone feeling the fractures — and looking for hopeful, human ways to stitch connection back together. About Elizabeth Tyler Elizabeth Tyler is the co-founder and CEO of good.film, a platform bringing people back together through film and television. With a mission to counter declining social cohesion, loneliness and political polarisation, good.film curates ambitious stories — from blockbusters to Oscar winners to indie documentaries — and builds community around the conversations those stories spark. Elizabeth's career began in politics, where she worked on two successful election campaigns and served as an adviser to a Tasmanian Member of Parliament. She later led creative-led advocacy campaigns as Strategic Director at the Motion Picture Company, working with major charities across Australia. Internationally, she has contributed to global environmental politics through the Global Greens, supporting more than 100 Green parties worldwide. She holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson, where she was awarded the Cockrum Fellowship for social change and the Wolfen Fellowship for entrepreneurship. Her leadership philosophy centres on creating community, naming a bold vision, and reverse-engineering it into practical, scalable outcomes.

In November of 2024, 65 year-old Valdas Bieliauskas was on a rafting trip with a group of friends in the wilds of Tasmania when he did something we all have - he stumbled. But that trip landed him in an impossible situation. With his leg pinned between boulders in fast moving cold water, options were running out. A decision had to be made - a limb or his life.

Is modern marketing broken, and are you missing the fundamental frameworks that are relevant today? In this episode of World's Greatest Business Thinkers, host Nick Hague welcomes back Mark Ritson, founder of the Mini MBA, to unpack why marketing has regressed despite unprecedented access to data, tools, and talent. Mark breaks down the misconceptions and differences behind "strategies with long and short impact," why the 95/5 rule should guide budget allocation, and how most CMOs are dangerously undertrained. He exposes the pitfalls of discounting, the power of friction in brand positioning, and the realities of growth that many leaders overlook. Packed with frameworks, brutal truths, and practical direction, this conversation equips marketers to build sustainable, profitable brands in a noisy landscape. What You Will Learn: Why advertising effectiveness has declined 10% over three decades despite AI and data abundance The critical difference between "Long and Short impact" and what brands actually need  How the 95/5 Rule reshapes budget allocation The profitability vs. revenue trap that derails most businesses Why price discounting is almost always a losing move, and how to reframe pricing  How to build distinctiveness into brand positioning through productive friction  If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review it on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube Podcasts. Instructions on how to do this are here. Mark Ritson Bio: Mark Ritson is a PhD marketer, celebrated professor, and founder of the Mini MBA. Over 25 years he taught at London Business School, MIT, Melbourne Business School, and Minnesota, earning multiple top-teaching awards. A former in-house consultant to LVMH, he has advised brands from Subaru to Sephora. His pricing research was cited during a Nobel Prize speech, and his prolific journalism has earned seven PPA Columnist of the Year awards. Now based in Tasmania, he focuses on the Mini MBA, writes for major publications, and continues skewering marketing nonsense with trademark wit. Quotes: "I think it's slightly worse than it was thirty years ago; we're certainly not improving. For all the talk of data and AI and everything else, when you see the occasional longitudinal data point, advertising is less effective than it used to be. We've slipped a little, not too much, but we certainly haven't made a lot of progress." "Retailers are selling the same stuff to the same people at the same time in the same place. Their obsession with price is because over the road, there's a competitor with 80% the same stock in the same places, going after the same customers. Price becomes this golden lever, and it's just something I never thought of before until I actually went in and started seeing it from the retail point of view." "All of the campaigns which are extraordinarily good at long-term brand building are also, with almost without exception, really good at immediately selling product. Long delivers short. You run a great TV campaign, it's gonna instantly start shifting product the next day as well as creating long-term changes in memory structures that might last for years." "There are 19 times more consumers outside the market than inside it. You want to spend 60-70% of your budget on the 95% so you're ready for when they come in later. The key lesson is it's usually too late to go after the 5% when they come into market, you need salience established beforehand."

Some adventures feel almost dreamlike—where even in the moment, you know you'll remember every detail. That was Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef for us. After sailing up from Tasmania, we arrived in the tropical north of Australia, where palm trees frame the marina and the Coral Sea glows in every shade of blue. Cairns practically invites adventure, and for us, the Great Barrier Reef was the moment we'd been waiting for. We booked a small-group snorkel trip heading out to Upolu Reef—and what we found there was unforgettable. Vibrant coral, giant clams the size of a loveseat, clownfish, sea turtles… and we were merely visitors in their world. But the adventure didn't end in Cairns. As the sun set and we sailed away, we began a new chapter—five full days at sea. Just us, the Crown Princess with 3000 of our newest friends, and the wide-open ocean… while a Category 4 cyclone churned only a couple hundred kilometers away near Darwin. This episode is all about that contrast: the wonder of the reef and the vast quiet of days spent crossing open water. Some links are affiliate links. See our disclosure.

Tasmania será escenario del primer Latin Market VIVO, un evento cultural que reunirá sabores, artesanías, música y talento latino en el Kingborough Community Hub este 30 de noviembre. Escucha la entrevista con los organizadores del evento.

This week on The Temple of Surf Podcast, we are honored to welcome one of the most recognizable names in surf photography: Sean Davey. Known for his unmistakable style, masterful use of light, and deep connection with the ocean, Sean has spent decades documenting the beauty, culture, and spirit of surfing. His images, often vibrant, dreamlike, and full of emotion—have become iconic in surf magazines and galleries across the world. Born in Tasmania and later establishing himself in Hawaii, Sean Davey developed an eye for the kind of ocean moments that most people never see. From glassy underwater worlds to dramatic shorebreak explosions, Sean captures the ocean with a rare sensitivity. In this episode, we dive into his journey, his philosophy, and the creative process behind some of his most legendary photographs. Sean shares stories from his early days shooting film, learning to understand the sea as both a subject and a collaborator, and finding his place among the world's finest surf photographers in Hawaii—home to some of the most challenging and beautiful waves on earth. We talk about the evolution of surf imagery, from the analog era to today's digital world, and how he continues to innovate while staying true to his artistic roots. One of the highlights of this conversation is Sean's perspective on patience and presence, two qualities essential for capturing extraordinary ocean moments. He explains how the best photographs often come from hours of observation, deep respect for nature, and a willingness to let the ocean reveal its magic. Whether it's a glowing sunrise barrel, a perfectly timed wave explosion, or an underwater dance of light and color, Sean's images remind us that the sea is always changing, always alive. We discuss the technical side too: gear, lenses, housings, the importance of understanding surf conditions, and what it takes to shoot in heavy water. Sean also opens up about the transition from editorial work to fine-art photography, building a global collector base, and why he believes ocean imagery has such a healing and transformative power. This episode is a tribute to passion, creativity, and the timeless beauty of the sea. Whether you are a photographer, surfer, ocean lover, or simply someone who appreciates stunning visuals, Sean Davey's story will inspire you to see the world around you with more curiosity and gratitude. Tune in and experience the ocean through the eyes of a master.

Philip Clark is joined by Steve Robson, who sails on the Ventura, which was first launched in November 1893 on the Tamar River in Tasmania.

Allen covers positive developments like EDF’s 261 MW Serra das Almas wind farm in Brazil, Ørsted’s offshore progress in the US, and Shell’s hydrogen deal in Germany. Then the troubling stories: a Nordex technical manager caught mining cryptocurrency inside turbines, and the discovery of asbestos in Goldwind turbine brake pads across multiple Australian wind farms.

And subscribe to Rosemary Barnes’ YouTube channel here. Have a question we can answer on the show? Email us! The wind industry is having quite a week. Some stories are blowing in the right direction. Others… well… you’ll see. Let’s start with the good news. In Brazil… EDF power solutions just powered up the Serra das Almas wind farm. Two hundred sixty-one megawatts. Fifty-eight Danish Vestas turbines spinning in Bahia state. Six hundred thousand homes… now running on wind. Up in the United States… Ørsted is making waves with two offshore wind projects. Revolution Wind and Sunrise Wind. Cable installation is underway. Offshore substations are being commissioned. By next year… more than sixteen hundred megawatts will be flowing into Connecticut… Rhode Island… and New York. Over in Germany… Shell is turning wind into hydrogen. They’ve signed a five-year power deal with Nordsee One. Starting in two thousand twenty-seven… offshore wind will feed a one hundred megawatt electrolyzer. Clean electricity making clean fuel. To power everything from trucks to chemical plants. But now… the other stories. In the Netherlands… a technical manager at Nordex wind farms thought he’d found the perfect side hustle. He had the keys. He had the access. He had giant wind turbines spinning out free electricity twenty-four hours a day. And he had a plan. Between August and November of two thousand twenty-two… the man installed three cryptocurrency mining rigs at the Gieterveen wind farm. He plugged them straight into a Nordex router. Inside a substation. Then he drove to Waardpolder. Another wind farm. He climbed inside the turbines. And he hid two Helium network nodes. Connected them to Nordex’s internal network. Month after month… while the turbines spun… his crypto wallet grew. Nobody noticed. Why would they? He was the technical manager. He belonged there. But then… Nordex got hit with something much worse. A ransomware attack. The Conti cybercrime crew. The company was scrambling. Investigating their networks. Looking for breaches. That’s when they found his mining rigs. The courts heard the case earlier this month. The prosecutor was not amused. This wasn’t just theft. This was a man who’d been trusted with critical infrastructure. Giant turbines. Automated systems. Industrial networks. The prosecutor wanted two hundred forty hours of community service. But the judges saw something else. A first-time offender. A man suffering from depression and burnout. Someone who admitted everything. They cut the sentence in half. One hundred twenty hours. Plus four thousand one hundred fifty-five euros in damages. About forty-four hundred dollars. And if he doesn’t pay? Fifty-one days in custody. If he doesn’t complete his community service? Sixty days in jail. The court made one thing crystal clear. He’d shown no concern for the potential disruption to the turbines. No concern for the company’s trust. No concern… that he was running a side business… inside critical infrastructure. But here’s the story that’s really stopped the industry cold. In Tasmania… at the Cattle Hill wind farm… inspectors made a disturbing discovery. Asbestos. In the brake pads. Inside the turbine tower lifts. Now… Tasmania is just the beginning. The turbines were built by Goldwind… And Goldwind supplies turbines to wind farms all across Australia. New South Wales. Victoria. Queensland. WorkSafe Victoria and SafeWork NSW confirmed Friday… asbestos has been found at multiple wind farm sites. White Rock. Gullen Range. Biala. Clarke Creek. Moorabool. Stockyard Hill. The brake pads were imported into Australia. Importing asbestos has been illegal there… since two thousand three. Beijing Energy International says the risk is extremely low. Access to affected turbines is restricted. They’re working with regulators. Testing is underway. But here’s what everyone’s thinking… Last week… asbestos was found in colored sand products from China. Schools shut down. Childcare centers closed. In the Australian Capital Territory. Queensland. South Australia. Now it’s wind turbines. So the wind industry had quite a week. Clean power spinning up in Brazil. Offshore cables going down in America. Hydrogen flowing in Germany. Cryptocurrency crimes in the Netherlands. And asbestos… hiding inside turbines… from China. And that's the wind industry news for the 24th of November 2025. Join us tomorrow for the Uptime Wind Energy Podcast.

Humanity has demonstrated, time and again, a horrific tendency to destroy its own kind – often to eliminate difference and impose uniformity of identity. At its worst, this tendency has led to the destruction of whole peoples – the crime against humanity of genocide. However, in our politically charged climate, the term genocide carries a massive moral weight, and we must be cautious about where to apply it. If we're too restrictive, it will make us blind to evil in the world. But if we're too loose, it will desensitise us to its significance.   Philosophers Stan Grant and Simon Longstaff explore what genocide is, and respond to its presence in the world.    Stan Grant is Distinguished Professor and Chair of Yindyamarra Nguluway Trust at Charles Sturt University. He has a Doctorate of Theology and was formerly ABC's Global Affairs and Indigenous Affairs Analyst and host of news program Q+A. He is one of Australia's most respected and awarded journalists, with more than 40 years experience in radio and television news and current affairs.  Simon Longstaff commenced his work as the first Executive Director of The Ethics Centre in 1991. He began his working life on Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory of Australia. He is proud of his kinship ties to the Anindilyakwa people. After a period studying law in Sydney and teaching in Tasmania, he pursued postgraduate studies as a Member of Magdalene College, Cambridge. In 2013, he was made an officer of the Order of Australia (AO) for "distinguished service to the community through the promotion of ethical standards in governance and business, to improving corporate responsibility, and to philosophy." Simon is an Adjunct Professor of the Australian Graduate School of Management at UNSW, a Fellow of CPA Australia, the Royal Society of NSW and the Australian Risk Policy Institute.

A national recall for imported coloured play sand contaminated with asbestos has expanded its impact. There are now school closures and remediation efforts across South Australia, the ACT and Tasmania over concerns about the contamination. Experts suggest the potential for long-term harm depends on the specific type of asbestos found and whether the sand is free-flowing enough to allow for inhalation. - अस्ट्रेलियामा आयातित केही रङ्गिन ‘प्ले स्यान्ड'मा एसबेस्टोस भेटिए पछि देश भर गत हप्ता चेतावनी जारी गरिएको थियो। साउथ अस्ट्रेलिया, एसिटी र टास्मेनियाका विभिन्न स्थानमा विद्यालयहरू पूर्ण वा आंशिक रूपमा बन्द गरिएका थिए। विशेषज्ञहरू भन्छन् कि यसको दीर्घकालीन असर बुझ्नका लागि, कस्तो प्रकारको एस्बेस्टोस फेला परेको हो, र त्यो श्वासप्रश्वास गर्दा कत्तिको सजिलै फोक्सोमा जान्छ भन्ने कुरामा भर पर्छ। एक रिपोर्ट।

Hiện đã có nhiều trường học tại Nam Úc, ACT và Tasmania phải đóng cửa để triển khai việc xử lý sau khi phát hiện loại cát đồ chơi trẻ em bị nhiễm asbestos. Các chuyên gia cho rằng mức độ ảnh hưởng lâu dài phụ thuộc vào loại amiăng cụ thể được phát hiện, và liệu cát có nhuyễn đến mức để có thể bị hít vào người hay không.

Australian Competition and Consumer Commission's (ACCC) national recall notice has been issued after imported coloured play sand was found to contain asbestos. Schools across South Australia, ACT, and Tasmania have been closed or partially closed as remediation efforts begin. Experts say the health risk depends on the type of asbestos and the level of exposure. Authorities are prioritising student and staff safety as they work to remove the contaminated materials.

He was a senior cop. A coach. A mentor. A familiar face in Tasmania. But when officers arrived at Paul Reynolds’ door with a search warrant, the truth began to crack open exposing decades of grooming, suspicion, and warnings buried deep inside the system meant to stop him. Badge of Betrayal peels back the layers of a case Tasmania Police quietly walked away from after Reynolds’ sudden death. What emerges is a disturbing pattern: young boys targeted through sport, car meets, and friendship; colleagues who raised concerns and were shut down; and a network of silence that stretched far beyond one man. A current serving high ranking police officer comes forward to tell us everything he knows, a friend who was groomed by Reynolds talks, we speak with victim survivors, whistleblowers and uncover emails and files notes that leave breadcrumbs that ask more questions.

Lake St Clair, nestled within Tasmania's Wilderness World Heritage area, was formed by glaciers over millions of years. Though it is nearly twice as deep as Bass Strait and recognised as Australia's deepest lake, it had never been fully mapped, until now. CSIRO scientists have created the first 3-D map of its underwater terrain, revealing the true scale and depth of this natural wonder. Residents describe the lake as pristine, offering a 'truly breathtaking view'.

This week I am joined by Josh Wood, a US-born, Tasmania-based behaviour change expert who somehow makes healthy living feel normal. You might know Josh from his brilliant TEDx talk on emotional eating, which has been shared far and wide, and for good reason. He's got this wonderfully shame-free, common-sense approach to wellness, with a healthy dose of humour, which is always appreciated!In our chat, we dive into everything from the surprisingly effective “Apple Test” for real hunger, to why perfection isn't exactly perfect in itself! Josh explains why “good enough” is genuinely good enough, and he shares the nugget of wisdom that made his entire TEDx audience gasp.We also get a sneak peek at Macro Masala, Josh' new Indian-inspired cookbook full of big flavours and simple prep. If you've ever struggled with motivation, food guilt, secret fizzy-jelly stashes, or the all-or-nothing mindset, you'll love this one.He's smart, sound, and refreshingly real. This conversation is just a reminder that small, conscious choices add up.

Thanks to Viki, Erin, Weller, and Stella for their suggestions this week! Further reading: Tasmanian tiger pups found to be extraordinary similar to wolf pups The thylacine could open its jaws really wide: A sugar glider, gliding [photo from this page]: A happy quokka and a happy person: A swimming platypus: Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we're going to learn about some marsupial mammals suggested by Erin, Weller, and Stella, and a bonus non-marsupial from Australia suggested by Viki. Marsupials are mammals that give birth to babies that aren't fully formed yet, and the babies then finish developing in the mother's pouch. Not all female marsupials actually have a pouch, although most do. Marsupials are extremely common in Australia, but they're also found in most other places around the world. Let's start with Weller's suggestion, the Tasmanian tiger. We've talked about it before, but not recently. We talked about it in our very first episode, in fact! Despite its name, it isn't related to the tiger at all. Tigers are placental mammals, and the Tasmanian tiger is a marsupial. It's also called the thylacine to make things less confusing. The thylacine was declared extinct after the last known individual died in captivity in 1936, but sightings have continued ever since. It's not likely that a population is still around these days, but the thylacine is such a great animal that people hold out hope that it has survived and will one day be rediscovered. It got the name Tasmanian tiger because when European colonizers arrived in Tasmania, they saw a striped animal the size of a big dog, about two feet high at the shoulder, or 61 cm, and over six feet long if you included the long tail, or 1.8 meters. It was yellowish-brown with black stripes on the back half of its body and down its tail, with a doglike head and rounded ears. The thylacine was a nocturnal marsupial native to mainland Australia and the Australian island of Tasmania, but around 4,000 years ago, climate change caused more and longer droughts in eastern Australia and the thylacine population there went extinct. By 3,000 years ago, all the mainland thylacines had gone extinct, leaving just the Tasmanian population. The Tasmanian thylacines underwent a population crash around the same time that the mainland Australia populations went extinct—but the Tasmanian population had recovered and was actually increasing when Europeans showed up and started shooting them. The thylacine mostly ate small animals like ducks, water rats, and bandicoots. Its skull was very similar in shape to the wolf, which it wasn't related to at all, but its muzzle was longer and its jaws were comparatively much weaker. Its jaws could open incredibly wide, which usually indicates an animal that attacks prey much larger than it is, but studies of the thylacine's jaws and teeth show that they weren't strong enough for the stresses of attacking large animals. Next, Stella wanted to learn about the sugar glider, and I was surprised that we haven't talked about it before. It's a nocturnal marsupial native to the forests of New Guinea and parts of Australia, with various subspecies kept as exotic pets in some parts of the world. It's called a glider because of the animal's ability to glide. It has a flap of skin between its front and back legs, called a patagium, and when it stretches its legs out, the patagia tighten and act as a parachute. This is similar to other gliding animals, like the flying squirrel. The sugar glider resembles a rodent, but it isn't. It's actually a type of possum. It lives in trees and has a partially prehensile tail that helps it climb around more easily, and of course it can glide from tree to tree. It's an omnivore that eats insects, spiders, and other small animals, along with plant material, mainly sap. It will gnaw little holes in a tree to get at the sap or gum that ...
