Do you have them identified? Or might they be sugar gliders?

It would be pretty surprising to find wild sugar gliders in Michigan.

Flying squirrels are fun to watch. I haven't seen any in a long, long time.

There are sugar gliders all over the country. Folks raise them for sale (as we do) and some get loose. (So I wouldn't be too surprised to find them in Michigan) They are no more indigenous to this area than pigs are to Texas, but they do exist.(ask any Texan about if pigs exist) Both gliders and flying squirrels can glide, but they are very different. Squirrels are rodents, and gliders are marsupials, among other differences.


The Virginia possum is far better suited for cold, yet they seem unable to colonize the UP even after centuries of spreading. There is a huge difference between a lone feral specimen and a reproducing population... or even a single sugar glider in midwinter cold.
