Editing Colugo (section)

=== Behavior and diet ===
Colugos are shy, [[nocturnal]], solitary animals found in the [[tropical forest]]s of Southeast Asia. Consequently, very little is known about their behavior. They are [[herbivores|herbivorous]] and eat leaves, shoots, flowers, sap, and fruit. They have well-developed stomachs and long [[intestine]]s capable of extracting nutrients from leaves and other fibrous material.

As part of colugos' [[evolution]] into a nocturnal species, they developed [[night vision]].<ref>Moritz, G. L., Lim, N. T., Neitz, M., Peichl, L., & Dominy, N. J. (2013).

Colugos may also be a territorial species.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Flying Lemur |url=https://a-z-animals.com/animals/flying-lemur/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231224100805/https://a-z-animals.com/animals/flying-lemur/ |archive-date=24 December 2023 |website=A-Z Animals|date=25 May 2021 }}</ref>
