The Sunda flying Colugo
The Sunda flying Colugo(Galeopterus variegatus)is a species of colugo found throughout Southeast Asia in Indonesia,Thailand,Malaysia,and Singapore.it is not a lemur and does not fly.Instead,it glides as it leaps among trees.It is strictly arboreal,is active at night, and feeds on soft plant parts such as young leaves, shoots, flowers, and fruits.It is a forest-dependent species.
Although they are placental mammals,colugos are marsupial-like in their breeding habits. The young are born after 60 days of gestation in a tiny and undeveloped form, and spend their first six months or so of life clinging to the mother's belly. To protect them and transport them, she curls her tail up to fold the gliding membrane into a warm, secure quasi-pouch.
are now seen by some as the closest living relatives to primates.
The incisor teeth of colugos are highly distinctive; they are comb-like in shape, with up to 20 tines on each tooth. The second upper incisors have two roots, another unique feature among mammals.The function of these adaptations is not currently known.
