9. Malayan Kalugo – The Misnamed Glider
The Malayan Kalugo, often misnamed as a glider, is not a lemur and does not possess the ability to fly. Instead, it relies on gliding between trees using a large membrane, similar to a flying squirrel. This remarkable adaptation allows the Kalugo to navigate its arboreal habitat efficiently. Despite its tree-dwelling nature, the Kalugo is not a proficient climber and depends primarily on gliding to move through its environment. Its unique gliding abilities and distinct features make the Malayan Kalugo a fascinating and distinctive species in the animal kingdom.
