Prepare for your daily dose of cute, courtesy of these absolutely tiny feathertail gliders.
There are 13 brand new members of the Taronga family here in Sydney…well almost brand new. These adorable Feather-tail Gliders were actually born around two months ago, but have only just started emerging from Mum’s pouch. Feather-tails usually stay in the pouch for about 63 days, before getting so large that the mother’s feet can no longer touch the ground. #FunnyButTrue #ForTheWild

Feathertails don’t get any larger than 8cm long, about the size of a small mouse, and grow to a maximum weight of just 14g.
This latest litter of joeys was born back in March and only recently emerged from their mother’s pouch.
