Danielle, please speak for yourself about "walking in the forest at night without a torch". Some of us can do that without a problem, though the UV from daylight is a bit of a problem...
Please make a video about aardvarks.
And I thought you were talking about warts...
What does "five times lighter" mean?
Flight/gliding evolving independently so many times is fascinating.
this comment is just asking for a religious nutjob to start preaching to you
nature finds a way
Kinda like how anteaters, pangolins, armadillos, numbats, and aardvarks all evolved to eat ants.
Even evolution recognizes air superiority
All designed by The Creator.
Colugos are native to where I live and absolute cuties. 10/10 when you see one on a tree and a baby is poking its head out from under the mum.
Are you not going to mention their colouring and camouflage? You could see throughout your video that their coats are perfectly matched to the trees they cling to.
Oooh neat! Good call!
Cute and weird creatures. The Colugos when they glide in the air, is something magical to see.
But when they walking , they very scary
Patagium: A kind of skin that Rocky has but Bullwinkle doesn't.
I've seen of artificial patagia. Some people are just...
And now for something you'll REALLY like!
I still think it could be fun to see a video on the Peccary; they deserve more attention, especially since they're not actually related to pigs; they just evolved similarly.
They’re still under Suina. They’re related af to pigs
Don't they, oddly enough, taste like pork as well?
@@Chaos89P@Chaos89P I wouldn't know; I've never had it; I also have no intentions of having it; Peccaries are very musky; it's how they earned the nickname "skunk pig," and chances are that will carry over to their meat.
My comment got removed. Peccarys still fall under Suina
“Aren’t actually related to pigs”, that’s a bit misleading, as both pigs and peccaries are in the suborder Suina, or Suiformes.
About 15 years ago I spent a few nights on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia, a bit of a wash for wildlife watching because of heavy rain. But one evening I took a short walk near my hotel and saw a strange-looking creature glide among the trees. I asked the hotel staff what it was and they told me COLUGO, a completely new animal to me. I feel so lucky to have seen it. Several years ago I learned that there is a glide suit named after the colugo, but I don't think I'll try it.
Looks like a half transformed vampire from 'what we do in the shadows' still kinda cute tho😂 BAT!
My goodness, I feel like their eyes are the perfect example of "no thoughts, head empty" 😂
lmao you’re right, they really do have that vibe. it’s giving koala
I was waiting for the living poop footage after the last "No, we are not."
They have such a pitiful expression ❤️🤗🐝
1:25 ^...^ best not get too close to the little guy while smelling like his food
6:13 :O looks like this one is gliding with a passenger... she got her baby strapped on for the ride... how cute
The baby learning to spread its "wings" on mum's back was great!
These little guys are awesome. They're so cute!
Could paleologic make a video on the extinct giant lemurs of Madagascar?
Finally, a video on an animal I don't know anything about. I'm not talking about your channel, just in general. No one seems to go into lesser known animals, however this scratches the itch
The floor is lava to the next level.
As soon as Danielle described the Phillipines colugos as pit bulls, I immediately thought, "Are they derpy cuddle bugs full of love and kisses?"🤣
i was wondering the same thing hahaha
More like screeches and screams😅
Do they maul children? ;)
Thank you for bringing to your viewers attention another little-known animal. I may have heard of these delightful animals but didn't know much about them. Stil a lot to learn but every time I watch your videos I learn something. Again thank you, you are a very delightful and entertaining narrator as all your fellow co-narrators seem to be. One happy subscriber.😀
Mindanao's Pronunciation: 😂
True, though Philippine town name pronounciations can be hard for westeners so I just let it slide.
@@shaider1982 That's an island not a town.
How's it pronounced?
Shoutout to anyone else who found the hidden Kirby.
That's a new one for me!
Same😊
I came to know about this animal just yesterday and now there is a new video about it?
These are very cool! I recently saw a video where one was crawling on a man's back. No idea if he kept one as a pet, it was outdoors maybe it was wild or, in a sanctuary.
Dang, now I'll have to cross colugos off the list of obscure animals I can brag about having heard of... anyway, glad that you're covering these weirdos!
The mindanoa had me laughing.
Fascinating animals! Never heard of them!
Great video, Danielle ! You and your colleagues always provide plenty of information along with photos and videos that broaden our knowledge about the world around us and the many critters that we share it with.
Very cool did not know about these !
Thanks for sharing
We had flying squirrels and black walnut trees they bowled at night in our attic!
PSA: Remember to keep your crystal ball/s in dark or dimly lit areas and always cover them when not in use.
Rando: Oh because of spirits or something?
PSA: No. Because, the ball will focus the light and burn your house down.
at 2:56 looks like one with 6 legs and 2 tail then think oh now that just its baby on its back trying to help mom glide LOL
I'll be going home from Calgary, Canada to Bohol, Philippines next week where colugos are natively found. Locally we call them kagwang.
I'd love to see some Aotearoa/New Zealand birds! Like the Kakapo (my favorite), or maybe a Kea or a Takahe :) ?
UGH Why does the Siberian Flying Squirrel have to be so friggen cuuuute?! Thanks again for another amazing video!
Another stellar, informative episode! I'd never heard of these cuties.
I watched this while eating soup and was about to have a really bad time at 8:37 or so lol
They turn the back of their glider suit inside out and let it rip. It is the weirdest looking poop stance you'll ever see. They manage to stay very camouflaged when they do it. Stealthiest weirdest poop ever
Even her description was kind of gross, lol.
Love Danielles new hair look! Suits her well!!
in Mindanao 🇵🇭 they called (Kagwang)😊😊sad to say they are disappearing slowly because the natural forest getting smaller and smaller every year 😢
This helps to explain why so many species are bats. If anything it's strange that flying reptiles haven't taken off again, but then that slower metabolism probably isn't easily adapted
So stinking cute❤ Danielle, love your hair, very chic😁
You got me melting for 9 minutes straight. Those huge eyes... they're as fascinating as they are cute.
So cool! Love the colour vision and flying evolution. They seem a lot like sugar gliders but related to primates! Love convergent evolution!
I can’t believe there aren’t more views on this! What an amazing creature! Danielle going for a little patagium wardrobe too maybe? Loved the vid, thanks 🙌
Awesome as always thanks your videos are always interesting and I learn something from every one!
magnificent documentary
These are fascinating little creatures, and rather beautiful in their own unique way. I thought Flying-fox Mums had it hard, flying with their babies hanging on by clamping down on a nipple and clutching her body with all their claws. Colugo Mums have to hold baby against their bellied with their tails. That must make their glides and landings more cumbersome. Those flying squirrels who look like shy boys working up the courage to ask for a date, could have been invented Ghibli Studio artists, kind of like Totoro.🖤🇨🇦
I would love for animal logic to recommend their favored conservation effort groups that we can support. Also @ 6:12 you can see the baby holding on to mama while she glides
I'm lived in the phillipines,there is many here,gliding at night where people so scared its thought to be a supernatural beings,it so very adorable and very very cute
Super interesting! They are amazing little animals. You do a great job narrating these videos.
I feel so blessed to get a chance to see one in my hometown botanical garden. Just a wild one sleeping under a palm tree. Such a rare animal to spot
there are colugos in Malaysia too! I saw one in Penang
It's pretty fascinating that besides great apes, these are the closest animals to us on the genetic lineage... Could you imagine if a rare group of humans evolved a flying squirrel type adaptation lol they would compete with those base jumpers who wear those glide suits lol
Animalogic you always have interesting content!!
8:32 ... Not sure if i could have been truly ready for that... but I was resigned and ready, for science 😅
I found out about colugos a couple of years ago and was wondering when Animalogic would do an episode on them. So cute and weird with those big ol' eyes and funny faces, and the babies accompanying their moms are adorable
i think its pronounced closely to mint-a-now
I've seen flying squirrels in my back yard going from tree to tree. They were fun to watch.
Amazing the variety of creatures here, first time learning of this one.
You guys are one of the best youtube channels. Great stuff!
8:36 had me panicking, haha. Great video, loved learning about these creatures!
50% of me absorbing interesting facts about evolution. 50% going aaaaaaaaw, cuuuute 😅
Great presentation, as usual, Danielle! 😎👏🏿🙌🏿👍🏿
I was like aw they're so cute, to ew they look kind of dirty, to aw hell naw when the parasitic moving poop part came up.
Saw a video of one of these flopping around in a panic on someone's lawn while some people screamed and it was a very bizarre introduction to them
Please do one on the “Scalytails” of Africa. Weird gliding rodents NOT related to flying squirrels. They have an almost batlike flying membrane.
It’s almost like they’re colluding and going all at the same time.😂
I wish you would do a piece on low land pacas. There is so little information available on them. Great video btw.
3:39 Awesome🤩! That’s the coolest fact I’ve learned today.
I knew colugos are excellent gliders with extensive membranes (patagia), but gliding at night was a surprise. For aerial locomotion under reduced light, Their visual acuity should be extremely high & efficient for maneuvering glide trajectory & precise distance. Very informative, thanks!
2:16 if you want to skip the advertisement
I thought this was an obscure species of lemur from Madagascar
Your drawings are fantastic!
That was so interesting... thank you so much for sharing these flying fellas. P.s. I wanted to see the feces move😊
Colugos are a bizarre species, like the aye-ayes from Madagascar. All the more reason to preserve them like any other creature in nature. Because of their range throughout Southeast Asia, they’re also found in Singapore, the most industrialized country in the world. So much so that they’re very little spaces of natural landscapes while the rest are in their and/or between the cities. Their work of being eco-friendly after the years is exquisite but overall, pointless, in my opinion when they should at least, half of what it once had.
In Philippines, these are also called kagwang. Majestic creatures!
Fascinating critters and video. Thank you.
That's so cool! Thanks for this video
Love Danielle's narration so much.... .whyyyy
I am glad you grew your hair out, you look beautiful.
Five times lighter than my head? Lol weird unit of measurement. Now I'm obsessing over how heavy my head is. It feels like it changes 😱
I remember when I first learned of these animals. I was in awe. A really unusual and cool animal! I actually may try scentbird, I love fragrances.
The shirt you are wearing is super cute and flattering!
Love these videos
pls dont eat calugos
What a delight you are and what a delightful presentation this is. Love it. Really loved this . 😃😍💋💋
Colugos make Bat Man looks more like Flying Lemur Man😂
Thank you Danielle for all of your hard work. I always enjoy your videos. 🇺🇸🥰
Seeing them fly silhouetted it's like they're sky rays
Good intentions, with unexpected consequences. When the little guys get use to flying into utility poles, until they fly to one with power lines.
Very cool little animal; great episode!
Next? South Texas ocelot recovery. It's happening in the shadow of Musk's spaceport.
Been long not seeing Colugo. But they are report of colugo spotted in Kent Ridge Park in Singapore. Perhaps the easiest spots to look for them..
They sound very fascinating, both ecologically and evolutionarily
Although I am a biologist, I never used "colugo" to refer to these animals. That's because I speak French and we use a different vernacular genus name. The French name for these animals is "galéopithèque" , which is copied from the 16th century Latin name for these animals. Latin was the international language of communication for scientists until the 18th century, so some of these names have stuck, and French being so close to its mother language, it retained the old name. A name which is great too, as it is made of 2 Greek roots: galee/weasel and pithekos/ape or monkey. A primate with a weasel head is a colorful moniker for these beasts.
Incredible design, and 100% adorable. ❤
Love this content
Thats a Floor is Lava Game.
I wanted to see the moving poop....
Suggestion: The lesser known or newly discovered Australian marsupials🦘🦘🦘🦘
Absolument superbe! Merci beaucoup!
Wow I just found out about these last week and have been looking into them! 😂
