Specialist note
Tarsiers are nocturnal, arboreal, insect-eating animals. They live in the coastal rainforests and bamboo thickets of Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, Mindanao and the Philippines.
Giant Indian Flying Squirrels are nocturnal animals living in forest canopy in Kashmir, India and Sri Lanka through to southern China, Java, and Borneo. They have a membrane skin between the front and hind legs which, when they stretch out their legs, tightens the membrane enabling them to glide from tree to tree.
