The Sugar Gliders relatives are Kangaroos, Platypus, bat and a lot more. They have very large eyes to help them see through the dark, since they are nocturnal. The flying squirrel is quite similar to the Sugar Glider because of the parachute like membrane they have to help them glide from tree to tree. Sugar gliders are marsupials. Scientists have found fossils of marsupials that are 125-121 million years ago.

The Snowy Owl can turn it's head 270 degrees. Owls have been able to do this for a really long time but it's ancestors didn't. Snowy Owls have more vertebrae in their neck, which helps them turn their head 270 degrees. At the beginning owls were born with extra vertebrae. So those owls reproduced and the population of owls with extra vertebrae increased. There are fossils of owls that are 70- 80 million years old.
