What Australian marsupial is often mistaken for a monkey?

The Australian marsupial that is often mistaken for a monkey is the Sugar Glider.

Here's why:

* Appearance: Sugar gliders have large eyes, a pointed face, and a furry, gliding membrane that stretches from their wrists to their ankles, giving them a somewhat monkey-like appearance.

* Behavior: They are arboreal (live in trees), and can leap and glide between branches, similar to some monkeys.

However, sugar gliders are not monkeys. They are marsupials, which means their young develop in a pouch on their mother's belly.
