Sunda Colugo
Galeopterus variegatus
The adult Malayan culugo is a nocturnal, arboreal gliding mammal of Southeast Asian rainforests, plantations, and wooded edges. It eats mostly leaves, young shoots, flowers, and fruit, using comb-like lower incisors to groom and process food. Its broad patagium stretches from neck to tail and between the limbs, allowing long controlled glides between trees. By day it rests flattened against trunks or branches, where mottled fur provides excellent camouflage.
