What is another word for Genus Ptilocercus?
Pronunciation: [d͡ʒˈɛnəs tˈɪlə͡ʊsəkəs] (IPA) 
The Genus Ptilocercus refers to a rare family of mammal species known as colugos, also called flying lemurs. Colugos are small, arboreal creatures native to Southeast Asia, known for their distinct gliding abilities thanks to a patagium, a fold of skin that extends from their limbs to their tails. Some synonyms for Genus Ptilocercus include the colugo family, the flying lemur genus, or Ptilocercus family specifically. Colugos are not true lemurs nor can they fly, but glide up to 140 meters in a single jump. With only two known species in the Genus Ptilocercus, these animals are truly amazing and unique.
