Flying lemur, or colugo, is a mammal of Southeast Asia. It is about the size of a cat. A flying lemur is not a true lemur . Flying lemurs can glide as far as 100 yards (91 meters) from tree to tree, but they do not actually fly. Large folds of skin on the animal’s sides connect its neck, legs, and tail. When it spreads its legs, this skin forms “wings” used in gliding. 
Flying lemurs have a pointed face, large eyes, and brown or gray fur with white spots. They live in rain forests and eat tropical flowers, fruits, and leaves. Most females give birth to one baby every year. There are two species (kinds), called the Philippine flying lemur and the Sunda flying lemur.
