1. flying lemur

   Colugos () are arboreal gliding mammals that are native to Southeast Asia. Their closest evolutionary relatives are primates. There are just two living species of colugos: the Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus) and the Philippine flying lemur (Cynocephalus volans). These two species make up the entire family Cynocephalidae () and order Dermoptera (not to be confused with Dermaptera, an order of insects known as earwigs). Although they are called "flying lemurs", the colugos are not lemurs and do not fly. Instead, they glide as they leap among trees. They are the most capable gliders of all gliding mammals. A fur-covered membrane, called a patagium, connects to the face, paws, and tail. This enables them to glide in the air for distances of up to 200 metres (660 ft) between trees. They are also known as cobegos.

1. flying lemur

   The flying lemur, also known as colugo, refers to two species of arboreal mammals that belong to the family Cynocephalidae and the order Dermoptera. Despite their name, colugos cannot actually fly but rather glide from tree to tree using a large skin membrane that stretches from their neck to the tips of their fingers and toes, and to the end of their tail. These nocturnal animals are found in Southeast Asia and are known for their distinctive appearance with large eyes and web-like membranes.
