The ‘flying five’“Langkawi is home

The ‘flying five’
“Langkawi is home to what I call the Fabulous Flying Five,” says Malaysian TV’s famed ‘JungleWalla’, naturalist Irshad Mobarak. “Africa has its Big Five but we have flying snakes, flying squirrels, flying foxes, flying dragons…we even have flying lemurs.”

The fascinating colugo – also known as the cloaked monkey, or the skin monkey – is the world’s only flying primate and Langkawi’s Datai Bay, in the far northwest of the main island, is the best place in the world to spot this unique creature. Datai Bay is one of Langkawi’s most superb beaches, too.
