	memenest » Fantastic Animals, The Colugo (or Flying Lemur)
		Colugos are the sort of animals that defy taxonomic categorization, confuse one’s sense of aesthetics, and seem to largely fall under the umbrella of “weird.”
		I’m sure that the Colugo would in fact be insulted by being called something as mundane as a sugar glider.
		Colugos and the (marvelous) Tree Shrews (which shouldn’t be insulted by being called Shrews) both seem to be from a family that is ancestral to the Prosimians.

	Colugo - MSN Encarta
		Colugo, also cobego, common name for certain nocturnal mammals sometimes called flying lemurs, although they are not related to the lemur and do not actually fly.
		The colugo is slender, long limbed, large clawed, and long tailed, with a foxlike head.
		During the day it hangs by its claws in secluded branches or rests in hollow trees; it is most active at twilight and early dawn.

	Colugo
		Colugos are fairly large for a tree-dwelling mammal: at about 35 to 40 cm in length and 1 or 2 kilos in weight, they are comparable to a medium-sized possum or a very large squirrel.
		Colugos are shy, nocturnal, and restricted to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia.
		Although they are placental mamals, colugos are almost marsupial-like in their breeding habits.

	ADW: Dermoptera: Information
		Colugos are strange, medium-sized animals (1-2 kg, approximately the size of a very large squirrel) with a large, well-furred membrane extending from the sides of the neck to the forepaws, and from the forepaws back to the hind feet and end of the tail.
		Colugos are sometimes called "flying lemurs," because of their habit of gliding and the fact that their faces are lemur-like.
		Colugos are nocturnal, passing the day in dens in hollow trees or suspended from branches.

		Colugos are nocturnal forest animals, spending the day curled up in holes, or hanging underneath a branch, wrapped in their patagium.
		Bats are thought to be related most closely to the Dermoptera, a small order of mammals (two species) which includes the colugos or "flying lemurs" of the Phillippines.

	BBC - Science & Nature - Wildfacts - Malayan colugo
		Colugos are nocturnal forest animals, spending the day curled up in holes, or hanging underneath a branch, wrapped in their patagium.
		They are solitary, and move around the forest by hopping clumsily up tree trunks using their sharp claws, and then gliding from tree to tree once they are at an appropriate height.
		Little is known about colugo courtship, but after a gestation period of 60 days the mother gives birth to a single young, or occasionally twins.

		Gliding Lemur, Colugo, Cobego (Cynocephalus volans, C. variegatus) Not uncommon, as there is a huge niche for this leaf-eater, but little known because it is inconspicuous in the canopy during the day, this taxon is central to debate about the origin of bats.
		Features that link the colugo to the megabats, but not to the microbats, include locomotion, defaecation (they both demurely get into the upright posture by hanging from their thumbs!...in contrast to the microbat's arched back "slice"), reproduction.
		I have pointed out that the colugo may escape detection as an obvious primate relative because it has a small-brain, large ventricle syndrome that it shares with the koala and three-toed sloth, two other exclusive folivores.
