Field Notes

Colugos are little-known, forest-dwelling animals that have huge gliding membranes, similar to flying squirrels. This enables them to make spectacular leaps from tree to tree in the Asian rainforests.

Habitat:

Also Known as the 'Flying Lemur'

Notes:

I was very lucky to see this amazing guy during a walk today in Bukit Timah Rainforest, Singapore.
