A small Australian marsupial related to the sugar glider, known for its ability to glide between trees.
From Australian Aboriginal languages, possibly from Dharug or related languages spoken in eastern Australia. The word entered English in the 19th century through naturalists studying Australian fauna.
The geggee represents one of Australia's unique marsupials that can glide through the air using wing-like membranes—a completely different evolutionary solution to movement that evolved independently from flying mammals elsewhere.
