With so much competition, jungles have become the home of the specialist.
在激烈的競爭環境下，雨林也變成了許多非常特別的動物的家。
And this animal, in the island of Borneo, is one of the most unusual.
這種動物在婆羅洲上是非常特別的一種。
It's a colugo, or flying lemur,
這種會飛的"狐猴"叫做鼯猴，
though this is something of a misnomer as it doesn't actually fly, and it certainly isn't a lemur.
不過它不屬于狐猴，因為狐猴不會飛。
In fact, nobody's quite sure who its closest relative is.
實際上很難確認它到底屬于那種動物。
The colugo depends on a diet of young leaves,
鼯猴靠吃嫩葉生存，
and to find enough of them, it must move from tree to tree.
為了吃到足夠的嫩葉，它必須在樹與樹之間移動。
The leaves are not very nutritious, but then getting around doesn't use much energy.
嫩葉營養雖不豐富，但在雨林里毫不費力就可以輕易找到。
In a single night, a colugo might have to travel as far as two miles.
在一個晚上，鼯猴可以穿行2英里的路程。
But that task is made easier by its superior gliding skills.
利用它的滑翔技能完成這個任務相當簡單。
