[slaam]

erm sorry if this is in the wrong section. But I think those that shoot nature would wanna know more about the behaviour and life of the Colugo and see wat nice images that others have caught of the colugo. (also have tips of where and when to catch the colugo on film/digital sensor) (ah hem if you poach them instead I hope you catch fleas and parasites from the colugo and suffer intolerably) Heh you can post your colugo pics here in this thread too maybe it will be asked to be contributed to the 2nd edition of this book?

New book: "Colugo: The Flying Lemur of South-east Asia"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1990, I encountered my first Colugo in the wild when an individual glided
across my path in Bako National Park, Sarawak. What a wonderful encounter!

On my return to Singapore, I discovered that they were actually quite Common
here! Since then many friends have shared their encounters in Singapore
forests with this strange, gliding mammal that both Alfred Russel Wallace
and Sir Stamford Raffles commented on. In 1999, a photo in The Straits
Times captured Mr Mah Bow Tan's poignant encounter with a colugo at Lower
Peirce!

However, many remain mystified about the biology of the animal. Author
Norman Lim, editor Morten Strange and several photographers have now
contributed to an 80-page book on the animal. Stimulated by Norman’s NUS
zoology honours thesis, this book is a significant compilation about this elusive
gliding mammal.

Special discounted price – until 3rd Feb 2007, the book is will be sold at a
special discounted price of S$20 (without DVD) and S$30 (with DVD) at
Nature's Niche (naturesniche.com) bookstore at the Singapore Botanic
Gardens.

The Raffles Museum's office in Faculty of Science (S6-03-01) has extended
the discount until Friday, 9th February 2007.
