They achieve this by launching themselves from tree branches, flattening their bodies to create an aerodynamic shape, and undulating through the air in an S-like motion to control their glide. This movement increases lift and stability, allowing them to travel between trees or escape predators. Their ability to glide is considered one of the most advanced forms of n
