I am working on designing a web page and I remember that "Petaurus Breviceps" translates into something like "tight-rope dancer" or something like that. Does anyone know exactly? Thanks!

The Petaurus translates "tightrope walker," or "rope dancer." The term breviceps translates to "short head."

Hope this helps you out some,
Sassy

Thats really funny that breviceps means "short head" I guess they thought that feature was important lol. I like Rope dancer, that is cute.
