Ever heard of the Colugo?

Colugos are also known as Cobegos or flying lemurs.  However, they are not actually lemurs nor do they fly.  Colugos are nocturnal, tree dwelling animals that can glide through air like flying squirrels.  They can grow to around 16 inches in length, the size of a large squirrel.  These awesome animals are found in South Asia and are threatened mainly by deforestation which lead to habitat destruction.
