Found in the lush forests of Southeast Asia, these fascinating creatures can glide up to 150 meters between trees thanks to their large flaps of skin. They’re primarily nocturnal, feasting on leaves, fruits, and flowers.

    That is one of the strangest looking creatures I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I love him.

        Sweet is that what colugo means? If so, it’s a well-applied name for that (lemur? Squirrel?). I’m guessing they’re another weirdo nocturnal primate-ish thing like the tarsiers?

          I’m sorry, I know nothing about this critter. I was just trying to make a funny comment about the way it was contorted. Hopefully, my comment will make you at least smirk and someone with applicable knowledge will be able to answer your questions.
