The treeshrew is named 'Tupai' in Malay, and this is reflected in its scientific name, Tupaia Tupai. The creature is from the order Rodentia, meaning that (you guessed it) it's a rodent. And no, it's not a squirrel - it's actually a shrew.
Often mistaken for a mouse because of its long, pointed nose, the treeshrew skulks around in the undergrowth when not in the trees. Genetically, it has primate DNA in its makeup, much like the Colugo, below.
The paradise tree snake is unusual in that it can for. Or, more accurately, glide quite some distance from tree to tree. This is done by spreading its rib cage to achieve a concave cross-section of its body, and launching itself off the tree.
Research has suggested that the paradise tree snake is capable of controlled flight. Rear-fanged and mildly venomous, it is known to constrict smaller prey. The Paradise tree snake is multi-coloured, and isn't to be confused with it's all green cousin, the Ornate tree snake.
Previously referred to as the Flying Lemur, this gentle creature is not in any way a member of that family. In fact, they're quite closely related to primates.
Colugo spend their lives holding onto the trunks of trees. This is when their grey and brown fur comes in handy, and acts as excellent camouflage.
They use a flap of skin called a patagium to glide from tree to tree, saving energy and avoiding predators.The young will hold onto the mother's belly while she glides and moves around looking for food. These shy, cute animals aren't looking for prey, though, as they're all herbivores.
