Cobego is another name for flying lemur. It is a native word of Malaya. There are only two known species of primitive gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia and on some of the Philippine Islands. They look like large flying squirrels. They climb trees, have webbed feet and claws, and like to glide off of trees. Due to the shape of the head and the activity at night, they are called lemurs, but are not true lemurs. They have broad folds of skin, similar to a bat, between the long legs and tail, which enable them to leap with limbs outstretched and glide for over 230 feet (70 meters) in a controlled glide while losing minimal altitude.
