{This story is about how new animals are living!
Do you like watching monkeys at the zoo? It can be fascinating because all the animals’ have the action so similar to those of people. Scientist discovered that two rare species of mammals called the Colugos are very similar to primates, but they are not there. The new study suggests that these small animals are the closet living relatives of modern primates. The Colugo species maybe the closest living relative to the modern primates. Above a Malaysian colugo mother shelters a youngster. Colugo’s leap off a tree and snaps open a membrane that allows it to glide a long way to next tree. The discovery gives insight into the evolution of primates say the scientist from Texas A&M University in College Station. That is it for today, talk to you next time.
