colugo

However, not all of the mentioned habitats can sustain large colugo populations.

There are two species of colugo, the Malayan and the Philippine.

At the time, only three species were recognized, one of which (a colugo) is no longer recognized as a primate.

The colugo (above) is an efficient glider as well as climber.

A second colugo species inhabits the southern Philippines.

One of the East's unique species, the colugo, a gliding mammal, here with a baby clutched to its breast (above).

The megabat flight and the colugo gliding could be both seen as locomotory adaptations to a life high above the ground.

Evidence for multiple species of Sunda Colugo.

Smaller mammal species include colugo, binturong and Malayan weasel.

The order includes the moles, shrews, hedgehogs, tanrecs, and allied animals, also the colugo.

Some features of the teeth differentiate Dermotherium from both living colugo species, but other features are shared with only one of the two.

The colugo (Cynocephalus variegatus), Dermoptera: the Primates' gliding sister?

Found in Southeast Asia, the colugo is probably the mammal most adapted for gliding, with a patagium that is as large as geometrically possible.

The first record of colugo (Cynocephalus variegatus) from the Lao P.D.R. Mammalia.

There are many species of 'flying' squirrels, but none of these is so well equipped for flight as the colugo, their gliding membranes being not nearly so extensive.

Gliding was hypothesized to be a less energetic way to move among the trees, however the energetic costs of climbing make it more expensive, but saves the colugo time.

Philippine Flying Lemur (Cynocephalus volans), one of two species of flying lemurs (Colugo)

Among non-primates, the extinct Chriacus exhibits microscopic groves on its toothcomb, but the Philippine colugo (Cynocephalus volans) does not.

Mary Silcox and colleagues reaffirmed the colugo affinities of Dermotherium in 2005 on the basis of detailed similarities in molar morphology.

The number of tines resembles that seen in the Sunda colugo, which has four to seven; the Philippine colugo has three to five.

When moving about the forest canopy at night in search of food, the colugo opens its 'parachute', and makes long, controlled glides between individual trees and across forest clearings.

Bako's nocturnal creatures include the colugo, pangolin, mousedeer, various species of fruit-eating and insect-eating bats, tarsier, slow loris and palm civet.

A novel family of tRNA-derived SINEs in the colugo and two new retrotransposable markers separating dermopterans from primates.
