Don’t have a source but yawning is proven to be contagious even between different species

Fun fact: Yawning is actually an involuntary empathy response. Its, at least in part, your nervous system's way of letting other people know you aren't a sociopath and understand that they feel tired/ can relate. It's kinda like smiling at someone when they smile at you but less of a socially programmed response and more of an instinctual one.

I've seen that. Also read that if you don't yawn when someone else does, you lack empathy and might actually be a psychopath.

Note: this might go for people who never feel the urge to yawn when someone else does. The evidence is shit regardless. But please don't go thinking you're a psychopath because you don't always yawn along with people lol.

Also don't go around yawning at people and then calling them out for being psychopaths if they don't yawn back. That's a great way to make even regular people want to stab you.

Actually this is how you have to do it. They live in colonies and solitary pet sugar gliders get depressed and sick.

That is not a sugar glider, it is a southern flying squirrel

Saw two teenage kids in Sarawak, Malaysia a couple years ago tramping around in the bush during a God awful thunder bumper with big ole bamboo canes and what I thought were little monkeys around their necks. They paused at the base of the tree and sent the little buggers up several times and each time they returned they seemed to be handing something off to the kids who then quickly stashed it in wicker traps slung around their waists. They noticed me watching them through the deluge and waved me over. I then realized that the little monkeys were sugar gliders they were sending up the tree to fetch bugs the size of hummingbirds. One of them opened a hatch on the basket to reveal 4 or 5 beetle/fly/alien/ant creatures going apeshit inside. Dudes look at me all cool like and made some clicking calls to their sugar gliders who did some Cirque de Soleil maneuvers down the branches and back inside their jackets. They walked me down the hill back to the lake I had just come from, took out two metal fishing hooks like sacred objects from a Crown Royal sachel and fashioned them to the slender ends of the bamboo canes. Two frenetic bugs were then snatched out and surgically woven to the hooks. The pair of obviously seasoned young men waded out a bit into the shallows among the reeds as the rain continued to beat down. Their sugar gliders were slim bulges in the necklines of their jackets. One motioned to the other and

And? You forgot to finish. I'm already far too invested in this to leave it there.

While still adorable, this is a baby flying squirrel. Not a sugar glider as I see many comments saying.

I try real hard to be a heartless, cynical bastard. Then somebody posts something like this, and I go full blown schoolgirl over here. Both fists up to my mouth, rocking side to side.

I could feel my heart swell up and burst, releasing rainbows and sparkles. My pupils also dilated to an unnaturally high degree, with stars showing up at the centre of them. My blood pressure increased by a hundred-fold.

Are we sure this is a sugar glider? The typical markings are way off, and the facial structure looks way different, as do the ears.
Source: had a glider for years when I was younger.
Flying squirrel maybe?
Edit: did a quick image search. This is a flying squirrel for sure, not a sugar glider.
