What sort of animal is this?

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y189/TheMelodyAng...

And why is it so cute? :-)

Update:

It could be a opossum... but it would have to be a certain type, because it is most certainly not a normal one.

It's not a sugar glider, it's not a chinchilla, it's not an african bush baby.

Update 2:

I own sugar gliders, and this animal is far from one.

    It's an Australian species of possum, most likely a brush tailed possum

    And it's so cute because it's fuzzy! :D

    EDIT: And they are very common pests here, and they can't glide.

    EDIT 2: On second thought, possibly a smaller species. But still a species of Australian possum.

    That is a type of flying (really gliding) mammal. A ... The name is escaping me. And yes they are adorable.

    I think it's some sort of Lemar. And it's cute because it's small and has big eyes. Everything small with big eyes tends to be cute to people.
