Gliding doesn’t count. Flying foxes and flying fish can glide, that isn’t
Okay listen
excuse me are you saying that flying foxes, the bats, the bats called flying foxes, cannot fly
No they can I was thinking of sugar gliders
Flying squirrels I suspect are what you were thinking of, which are a distinct species from sugar gliders!
I was but I forgot what they were called so lied about the sugar gliders. Sorry everyone.
Really firing on all cylinders with this one.
Be nice to me
The flying foxes was a fair shot fired, but the sugar gliders shot was not. Sugar gliders are just as capable of gliding as flying squirrels, and just as incapable of true flight
vs “flying” squirrels
But I would also like to say australia’s endemic flying squirrel is actually called a squirrel glider (which is NOT another name for sugar glider, they’re different species). Just to confuse things further.
And as if that was not enough.
According to this study, “sugar gliders” kept in captivity in the USA may actually not be sugar gliders, either. DNA samples compared across native sugar glider populations and captive populations suggest they’re actually Krefft’s Gliders.
Anyway, this thread is why tumblr is better than facebook. if you’re wrong on facebook people just believe you (and then repeat it endlessly and dig in if anyone tries to correct them). If you’re wrong on tumblr people come outta the woodwork to drag you until sources start getting cited. whether or not those citations have anything to do with the original topic is a crap shoot.
