Colugo

Also known as the “flying lemur,” these large tree-dwellers live in the rainforests of Southeast Asia. They are nocturnal and eat leaves, shoots, and flowers. To protect and transport a baby colugo, the mother curls her tail up to form a quasi-pouch.

This sleeping beauty is a colugo, found in Southeast Asia. Colugos have an extension of their skin called a patagium that they use for controlled gliding from higher to lower locations in the trees.
