Origin of colugo¹

from a native word in Malaya

The colugo is about as big as a good-sized cat, and its fur is olive or brown in color, mottled with whitish blotches and spots.

Well, the skin of the colugo is quite as loose as that on the sides and lower parts of its body.

The Colugo is perhaps the most singular member of the order.
