      Danielle, please speak for yourself about "walking in the forest at night without a torch". Some of us can do that without a problem, though the UV from daylight is a bit of a problem...

    About 15 years ago I spent a few nights on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia, a bit of a wash for wildlife watching because of heavy rain. But one evening I took a short walk near my hotel and saw a strange-looking creature glide among the trees. I asked the hotel staff what it was and they told me COLUGO, a completely new animal to me. I feel so lucky to have seen it. Several years ago I learned that there is a glide suit named after the colugo, but I don't think I'll try it.

  • @SorenAlba54
    @SorenAlba54 8 місяців тому +4

    Colugos are a bizarre species, like the aye-ayes from Madagascar. All the more reason to preserve them like any other creature in nature. Because of their range throughout Southeast Asia, they’re also found in Singapore, the most industrialized country in the world. So much so that they’re very little spaces of natural landscapes while the rest are in their and/or between the cities. Their work of being eco-friendly after the years is exquisite but overall, pointless, in my opinion when they should at least, half of what it once had.

    These are fascinating little creatures, and rather beautiful in their own unique way. I thought Flying-fox Mums had it hard, flying with their babies hanging on by clamping down on a nipple and clutching her body with all their claws. Colugo Mums have to hold baby against their bellied with their tails. That must make their glides and landings more cumbersome. Those flying squirrels who look like shy boys working up the courage to ask for a date, could have been invented Ghibli Studio artists, kind of like Totoro.🖤🇨🇦
