My Happy Place

In this map I included my house, my happy place, and the path to my happy place. The spot I chose for my happy place is my high school wrestling gym. Wrestling is a huge part of my life. It has taught me a lot of things such as discipline and hard work. The wrestling gym is somewhere I have always felt comfortable, relaxed, and confident.

Sugar Glider!



This little guy is known as a Sugar Glider or scientifically named Petaurus Breviceps. This animal is a small nocturnal marsupial native to Australia and Indonesia. They have similar features to that of a Flying Squirrel. The gliders have a gliding membrane that stretches from their wrists to their ankles. This membrane allows them to glide from tree to tree in their natural habitats.

A recent trend in the U.S. and many other parts of the world is to domesticate these animals and keep them as pets. In Australia there are laws put in place to help protect the animals that are in their natural habitat, but in the U.S. these gliders are kept and bred on a large scale by businesses to sell as home pets. They have become popular in many places and are continuing to become more and more popular among pet owners every day.
