Colugo
Colugos () are
arboreal gliding
mammals found in
Southeast Asia. Just two
extant species make up the entire
family Cynocephalidae () and
order Dermoptera. They are the most capable gliders of all
gliding mammals, using flaps of extra skin between their legs to glide from higher to lower locations. They are also known as
cobegos or
flying lemurs, though they are not true
lemurs.
