Colugo
They are a sub species of flying lemurs and have two living species that are located in southeast Asia. They have a skin membrane that stretches from their front arms to their tail. They will glid from tree to tree to travers their environment where they will eat leaves, shoots, and fruits. Colugos raise their babies similarily to those of marsupials. This means the baby will cling onto the mom’s stomach and will stay until they are able to survive on their own.
