We finally found Colugos!
When I say "we", this includes our guide, as we have not been able to find them ourselves, so joined a guided hike. Thanks for the pictures goes to our fellow hiker Bob, whose camera takes pictures at night.
Colugos are also called flying lemurs, but they are neither lemurs nor flying, they just like to glide. You would too, if you were more webbed.

I'm entirely unclear why they look green, since that's not trendy with mammals. Before finding them, I thought they might be imaginary, like quokas or platypuses.
Still confused on your gliding mammals? Here's a handy guide: flying foxes are actually bats, and can fly. Everything else glides, like flying squirrels, flying phalangers, and some gliders in Australia, which has weird animals anyway.
Another animal we saw for the first time was a tarantula! Don't worry, it's a small kind, maybe the size of an oreo. Species unconfirmed, but we think this is the Singapore brown tarantula, native species!
And we think this is a malesian frog.
Cute little bat.
And now back to day hiking, where we showed Berni and Luka around Bukit Brown.
We saw the avatar trees. No idea what this means, all I know is avatars are blue.
