Colugo
Adult, female, Singapore.
Order : DERMOPTERA Family : Cynocephalidae Species : Cynocephalus variegatus Seen in the central catchment area, Singapore Colugos are arboreal gliding mammals found in South-east Asia. There are just two species each in its own genus, which makes up the entire family Cynocephalidae and order Dermoptera. Though they are the most capable of all mammal gliders, they cannot actually fly. They are also known as cobegos or flying lemurs (misleadingly, since they are not lemurs and cannot fly). - From Wikipedia Baby is hidden under mummy. www.flickr.com/photos/lipkee/453555028/in/set-72157600317...
