This volume serves as a solid introduction to flying lemurs, or colugos. Clear, informative text covers most aspects of the colugos’ lives, highlighting interesting facts such as their ability to glide for up to 230 feet between trees and the way these herbivores use comblike teeth to scrape then lick up plant material from leaves and branches. A brightly colored map and a photo-heavy design add visual interest. Back matter includes a glossary, a link for publisher-approved Web sites, and an index.
