The Sugar Glider is around 16 to 20 cm (6.3 to 7.5 inches) in length, with a tail almost as long as the body and almost as thick as a human thumb, and weighs between 90 and 150 grams (3 to 5.3 oz). The fur is generally pearl grey, with black and cream patches at the base of the black or grey ears. Other colour variations include leucistic and albinorecessive traits. The tail tapers only moderately and the last quarter of it is black, often with a dark tip. The muzzle is short and rounded. Northern forms tend to be brown coloured rather than grey and, as predicted by Bergmann's Rule, smaller.
Green skin, wrinkly forehead, wispy barely-there hair, bulgy eyes, serious (borderline grumpy) expression… on paper it seems impossible that a creature bearing this description could ever find its way to the Land of Cute. But thanks to his endearing personality, voice a la Frank Oz, and clever merchandising, Yoda has broken down all of the barriers and blazed a trail into the cute recesses of our hearts.
It's hard to deny the supreme cuteness of this image - combining the sweet piglet with a tiger. The image is from a zoo in China, where they frequently try a variety of animal stunts to entertain visitors. The image was taken in 2004.
