The paradise tree snake of southern Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Philippines, and Sulawesi is the most capable glider of those snakes studied. It glides by stretching ...

The two species of Dermotherium were about as large as the Philippine colugo and larger than the Sunda colugo and differed from both in several characteristics of the dentition. [12] Not enough is known of the skeleton of Dermotherium to assess whether the animal already possessed the gliding adaptations of living colugos. [13]
