Sunda Flying Lemurs

Well, they’re not lemurs and they can’t really fly, but they definitely are awesome! After almost two years in Southeast Asia, we’ve finally spotted two – count ’em two – Sunda flying lemurs here on Koh Adang. The amazing gliding mammals swooped down in front of us and landed on a tree not far from our bungalow. Their highly unusual gliding skills are a site to behold – almost worth the two-year wait.

We know the brainiacs who visit our site need more info on these unusual creatures, so here is a link to the appropriate Wikipedia article as well as a short BBC clip below. Watch them fly – it’s weird and wonderful!
