What is another word for order Dermoptera?
Pronunciation: [ˈɔːdə dˈɜːməptəɹə] (IPA) 
Order Dermoptera, which is also known as the Colugos, is a group of arboreal mammals that are native to Southeast Asia. While the name "Dermoptera" might not be familiar to most people, the animals in this order are quite distinctive. Synonyms for the order Dermoptera include Flying Lemurs, Flying Squirrels, and Tree Shrews. These names are all somewhat misleading, as flying lemurs and squirrels are not true rodents, and tree shrews are not actually shrews. However, they do share some similarities with these groups, such as their arboreal habitats and their ability to glide through the forest using specialized skin flaps. Overall, the order Dermoptera is a fascinating and unique group of animals with a rich evolutionary history.
