A sugar glider, Petaurus breviceps, is perched on the bare left shoulder of an individual, likely situated on a beach in Karon, Thailand. The small mammal features light brown and greyish-tan fur, a prominent dark dorsal stripe extending from its head, large dark eyes, and small pointed ears. Its delicate, clawed paws grip the skin of the shoulder. A long, slender tail extends upwards along the individual's neck. A silver-colored chain necklace with a clasp is visible on the right side of the frame, resting on the individual's skin. The background, out of focus, reveals the sandy ground and portions of two white plastic beach lounge chairs with blue cushions. The scene is illuminated by warm, directional light, casting an orange hue on the subject and the animal.
