Sugar Gliders – The Gliding Pets!
Have you ever seen squirrels glide? Yes, that’s exactly what a Sugar glider does. They are marsupials like kangaroos and are nocturnal. It’s a perfect pet that you can have in your pocket and travel the whole world
with. They glide through the air and they hang using their tails and bond deeply with their owners.
Axolotls and Platypus – Water Wonders!
A pink swimming under water lizard, it is an amphibian. Also often compared with great sea lions/ lizards, meet the perfect underwater pet – Axolotl, they are like magic! It lives in Mexico.
Next, I am sure most of you know this creature from anime or cartoons. It is neither an amphibian, a fish nor a bird. Meet the platypus, it sweats milk and produces venom from its leg. It can’t see or hear so it uses its beak like a compass to hunt the prey. It doesn’t have teeth or stomach, it swallows some stones to grind the food in the mouth and won’t know where the food gets entered from.
