Farthest glide by a marsupial

The species of marsupial that can glide the longest distances is the yellow-bellied glider (Petaurus australis) of Australia, which can glide up to 115 m (377 ft) through the air and is highly manoeuvrable while airborne.

The longest documented glide for a mammal is 450 m (1,475 ft) for a giant flying squirrel of the genus Petaurista, found in the forests of Asia.These creatures are the largest of all gliding mammals, measuring up to 1.1 m (3.6 ft) long, including the tail.

The world's smallest gliding mammal is the feathertail glider (Acrobates pygmaeus) of Australia. Despite its tiny body length of 65–80 mm (2.5–3.1 in), tail length of 70–80 mm (2.7–3.1 in) and weight of 10–14 g (0.35–0.5 oz), it can glide up to 25 m (82 ft) between trees.
