Amid the ongoing pandemic, and wildfires there appears some good news, for the Aussies and animal lovers across the world. Scientists in Australia have made a remarkable discovery, with the help of DNA revealing that one of the country슬롯사이트™s adorable airborne marsupials is in fact, three separate species. Yes, you read that, right! After the country experienced disastrous wildfire season, this emerged as a new ray of hope in the forests of Australia슬롯사이트™s east coast. According to the researchers, the two new mammals are being identified as cousins of the doe-eyed flying marsupials, also known as greater gliders and the furry-bodied subsists on eucalyptus leaves in the forests of Queensland and Victoria. In this article, we will know more about these new species.

In the study published in scientists discovered that the treetops are far richer and more diverse than they thought. The already-known southern glider, is reportedly about the size of a common possum and they sleep in hollowed-out trees in the forests of Victoria and New South Wales, during the day and sets out at night in search of eucalyptus leaves. They can even soar up to 330 feet through the air.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Australian Koala Goes Viral For Its Seduction Skills, Check Hot Picture of the Marsupial.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천

슬롯사이트œThere has been speculation for a while that there was more than one species of greater glider, but now we have proof from the DNA,슬롯사이트� PhD candidate, Denise McGregor from James Cook University was quoted saying in reports. McGregor and her team used a genotyping tool called Diversity arrays technology (DArT) to analyse tissue samples taken from more than 50 gliders living in multiple regions in Australia. The result confirmed that there is not just one kind of greater glider, but we have two more.

The team further stated that the two variants, which initially assumed to be subspecies are actually separate species in their own right. The three distinct species make up three largely different populations along the Australian east coast슬롯사이트”Petauroides volans (southern region), Petauroides armillatus (central) and Petauroides minor (north). The newly discovered species, is the smallest of the glider clan, which can grow to nearly two feet.

Australia슬롯사이트™s flying marsupials are fascinating, and their large eyes and fluffy ears have endeared people around the world. But the number of the glider population declined over the years, and each of the species represents now even smaller and endangered group.
