Day 7: Sunda Colugo

Day 7:


In Southeast Asia lives a Sunda Colugo. Their closet relative is the primate. Mostly recognized by the Philippine Colugo. They are 19.88-27.12 inches long and 1.98-4.41 pounds. They are a type of lemur that flies… well really glides. They glide using a part of their skin called patagium. They have a small head, huge eyes, small ears, and their fur can be white, black, grey, or even red. They can be found in treetops in Tropical rain forests, and in high lands of forest edges and plantations. They are herbivores, they eat leaves, sap, fruit, nectar, flowers, and other plant fluids. In captivity they live to be about 17.5 years old, and during their life time the female can have 1-2 offspring but the average is usually 1. Strange animal right its so fluffy! If you've heard of the Sunda Colugo comment. Have a great day and stick around.
