The skull of a colugo is very distinctive, broad and flat in outline and with a nearly complete postorbital process that sets off the eye sockets. |
The mammals the researchers studied were the platypus, echidna, opossum, wallaby, hedgehog, mouse, rat, rabbit, cow, pig, bat, tree shrew, colugo, ringtail lemur, and humans. |
The colugo is about as big as a good-sized cat, and its fur is olive or brown in color, mottled with whitish blotches and spots. |
The colugo is perhaps the most singular member of the order. |
Well, the skin of the colugo is quite as loose as that on the sides and lower parts of its body. |
