Feeding Tongues Tropical Rainforest Upside Down Flying Lemur Licking
Upside-Down Delicacy - Malayan Colugo's Algae Feast!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Nick Garbutt, we witness the incredible dining habits of the Malayan colugo, also known as the flying lemur. Hanging upside down from a tree bark in the lush tropical rainforest of Borneo, Malaysia, this adorable mammal indulges in a unique culinary experience. With its long tongue extended and eyes gleaming with delight, our leafy friend licks away at a delectable spread of vibrant green algae. As it clings effortlessly to the vertical surface, defying gravity like an acrobat, we can't help but marvel at its remarkable behavior. The reserve in Danum Valley provides the perfect backdrop for this mesmerizing scene. Amidst dense foliage and rich biodiversity, these agile vertebrates have found their paradise. With every lick and slurp, they not only satisfy their taste buds but also contribute to maintaining ecological balance within their habitat. Colugos are true masters of disguise – blending seamlessly into their surroundings during daylight hours before embarking on nocturnal adventures. And here we catch them red-handed (or should we say green-tongued?) engaging in one of their favorite pastimes! So let us raise our imaginary glasses filled with algae smoothies to celebrate nature's quirky wonders! Cheers to these charming creatures who remind us that even when life turns upside down, there is always something delicious waiting just around the corner.
