don’t love these, they’re fine but they feel pretty route one (hehe) in terms of the idea, so consider them as loose scraps

Qui connaît existe-t-il vraiment ???

Colugo, a mammal that looks like a bat, gliding Lemur He lives on the island of Borneo and in the forests of Southeast Asia

Round 1 Match 63

Colugo: "when they poop, they flip up their tails onto their back, but it looks like they literally turned themselves inside out since they're hairless on their ventral side."

Sunfish: "Big rice cake :)"

I can't believe this animal actually exists

Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus)

Not a lemur at all, this nocturnal glider is actually the closest living relative of primates. Also called the Sunda colugo, it is found in the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, including the Malaysian peninsula and the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. It eats leaves, flowers, fruit, and sap. Although it can’t technically fly, and its extensive skin membrane certainly looks awkward, it is one of the best gliders in the animal kingdom!

Being an adult is wild because you’ve been around for a while, you’ve watched a lot of David Attenborough, you think you know basically what an animal should look like right? And then someone drops a picture of this in front of you like what?

I'm doing a little project over the month of March where I draw an animal with a 4 colour palette each day of the month.

March 18th is a little colugo.
