	Flying Lemur
		The flying lemur doesn’t fly and it isn’t a lemur, but received its name because of its nocturnal habit and the shape of its fox-like head, both of which are reminiscent of lemurs.
		Flying lemurs never purposely descend to the ground, where they move slowly and awkwardly due to the large flaps of skins that hang from their bodies, rendering them nearly helpless when they attempt to walk upright.
		Flying lemurs are solitary animals and although up to 12 may be found per hectare, if two males find themselves in the same tree, they become aggressive toward each other until one leaves.

	Flying Lemur
		Flying lemurs do not fly and are not lemurs, but received their name because of their nocturnal habits and the shape of their fox-like head, both of which are reminiscent of lemurs.
		When flying lemurs want to glide from one tree to another, they hold their arms and legs out, creating a parachute or wing-glider type of effect, soaring well over 328 feet (100 m) in one effortless motion.
		Their fur, which is brown or grey with white splotches, provides flying lemurs with an excellent camouflage against tree bark, and their strong nails help them to grip branches of trees.

	[No title]
		When you see a Lemur fly past your window, odds are that it was one of the Lemurs trying out the new anti-grav packs they've "borrowed" from the cows' ship.
		Lemur hackers are at this very moment trying to reprogram the anti-grav packs to accept commands in Lemur-ese, a job complicated by the cows' practice of programming all their equipment with a powerful Multiple-Object-Oriented (MOO) language.
		Lemurs are much smaller and more agile than the cows, so they've managed to unbolt the grates over the intakes for the scramjets and gain access to the ship's interior via the engineering crawlways.

		They are, however, quite attractive, with beautiful dark eyes, a broad muzzle with a soft nose, soft wooly fur spotted with white, and an odd fold of skin between the front and hind limbs.
		Flying lemurs are, in all likelihood, related to bats, but they are so distantly related to bats or anything else that they and their one close relative (in Malaysia and Indonesia) are placed in their own Order by biologists.
		All monkeys, true lemurs, apes and humans (253 species) make up one Order; all squirrels, beavers, rats, and their relatives (2,166 species) make up another, and so on; the two species of flying lemur have an Order all to themselves.

	deseretnews.com \| Do flying fish really fly or just fool us?
		Answer: A clue: If the name says it flies, it probably doesn't — for example, the flying lizard (on winglike membranes at its sides, it too glides through the air), flying lemur (fur-covered membranes permit gliding leaps), flying frog (web-connected toes do the same), and flying squirrel (tree to tree on winglike membranes).
		Or if it does fly, other trickery awaits: The flying fox is not a fox but does have a foxlike muzzle and small pointy ears, and can fly with the best of them (it's a bat).
		So now to flying fish: They're marine species of the family Exocoetidae, not with wings to beat for "powered flight" but capable of high speeds in the water, then going airborne for a glide on their long, wide, STATIONARY pectoral fins, says University of Idaho zoologist James Nagler.
