Welcome to the Forum, Sereta. I fixed your post so that the image appears.Have you tried looking for the scientific name on Spanish Wikipedia? - Gekkosan, Mar 22, 2011
What a genius idea! Thanks! - sereta, Mar 22, 2011
Actually, you can look a lot of things up on Wikipedia English, then press one of the language buttons on the bottom left to get the version in any language available including Spanish in many cases. - Stadt, Mar 22, 2011

El petauro del azúcar (Petaurus breviceps), también denominado comúnmente falangero del azúcar, es un mamífero diprotodonto de la familia Petauridae. Son animales nocturnos y de costumbres arborícolas que se incluyen en la misma subclase que los canguros (Marsupialia).

Would this cute creature be the same as a flying squirrel? In Spanish it is rendered: la ardilla voladora... probably related, no?

Not related, this animal is a marsupial, and flying squirrels are rodents, which are placental mammals. All marsupials are more closely related to each other than to any placental mammal. - Stadt, Mar 22, 2011
The similiar appearance is an example of convergence; relatedness is best evaluated currently using cladistics. - Stadt, Mar 22, 2011
My, Carl Linnaeus back from the grave! :o) - cristalino, Mar 22, 2011
Actually, some people would like cladistics to supercede Linnaean classification entirely. :-) - Stadt, Mar 22, 2011
