For the final "Throwback Thursday" of July, 2015, I have one final 'photo-op' I'd taken at the "Florida Supercon" (the annual sci-fi/fantasy/comic book/celebrity convention), held in late June, 2015 at the Miami Beach Convention Center...
Besides seeing 'fursuiters' (and concessions where 'fursuits' and their accessories are sold), there were a few real animals all over the Dealer's Room. Most of them were 'service dogs', guiding some attendees around the con...
But there was one unique area where a demonstration took place. There, an animal expert showed off his exotic pet: a sugar glider (who was constantly climbing up and down his arm, much to the amusement of his audience).
Supposedly, the purpose of said demonstration was for attendees to consider owning a sugar glider as a pet of their own. However,
: Funimal - who brought me to the con - felt that these members of the marsupial family might end up becoming another invasive animal species in Florida (like the Burmese python); they might overpopulate the state and take over the valuable ecosystem... But that's just one person's opinion.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed these pictures I took at "Florida Supercon".

It would be unlikely for sugar gliders to become invasive because their niche is filled by a better adapted placental mammal in the states.
They'd compete against the southern flying squirrel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South.....lying_squirrel - Of course, there is no way to know. One would have to ask an expert in this, but generally placental mammals (especially canidae and felidae) out compete their marsupial friends.
One notable exception is the american opossum, who shares the arboreal obligate omnivore role with placental mammals (like raccoons) in the states with overlapping ranges and opportunistic diet. I'd love to know how that happened. Anyways, /hi from a sugar glider :)
