Flying Lemur Skeleton,Unassembled
Cynocephalus variegatus

The common name "Flying Lemurs" is misleading since they do not fly but glide and they are not true lemurs.

Flying lemurs are cat-sized and possess a gliding membrane that stretches from the neck to the finger tips along sides of the body, between the toes, and joins the legs and tail.

They live in primary and secondary forests where their gliding abilities enables them to move from tree to tree while searching for food.

While not endangered they are threatened by deforestation and habitat destruction.
