Colugo, the Flying Lemur
(lemmy.world)
From Steve Gettle
"Colugo" - Flying Lemur
Borneo is home to some of the world's most unique animals and certainly near the top of that list would be this flying lemur known locally as a Colugo. Technically they don't actually fly but glide between the trees very much like a "flying" squirrel.
Completely nocturnal this animal glides through the jungle at night on a membrane that runs between its hands and feet called a patagium. I love how the mottled fur looks very much like the bark of the tree trunks where it spends so much of its time.
Nature is just amazing!
