What does COLUGO mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A tree-dwelling mammal of Southeast Asia with a wide fold of skin between its limbs that lets it glide long distances, long known by the misleading name flying lemur.
The colugo is neither a lemur nor able to fly in the true sense: it glides from tree to tree, covering well over a hundred metres in a single swoop. Two species are known, living in the forests of the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo, Java and the Philippines. Genetically they are close relatives of primates, which is why the old name flying lemur stuck.
