[post_page_title]Flying lemur[/post_page_title]
Although these mammals have lemur in the name, they actually aren’t related to lemurs themselves. Plus, they don’t really fly. So what gives?
The lemur part of their name comes from the similar faces, while the flying part is a unique feature of this rare animal. The flying lemur can stretch out the membrane between their arms and tail so they’re able to glide through the air. They’re not really flying; they’re falling, with style. If you want to see one in the wild, then you’ll have to take a trip to the Philippines or Southeast Asia.
