colugos

1. Colugos and tree shrews have unusual reproductive systems, but in very different directions.
    猫猴和树鼩都具有不同一般的繁殖体系，但是具体的方法也不一样。

2. Colugos can glide more than 70 metres through the forest at night, to a distant tree, with little loss of height.
    在森林的夜幕中，猫猴可以滑翔70多米，而其所处的高度却几乎不变。

3. The affinities of the tree shrews and the colugos, to each other and to the rest of the mammals, are subject to dispute and uncertainty.
    树鼩和猫猴之间、以及这两者与其它哺乳动物之间紧密的联系成了争论的焦点，而且尚无定论。

4. Some researchers even think the colugos are closer to the primates than the tree shrews are.
    一些研究人员甚至认为，猫猴比树鼩更接近于灵长类。

5. Very possibly the same will happen with this book, and it isn't just the colugos and tree shrews. The position of tarsiers (Rendezvous 7), and the grouping of lampreys with hagfishes (Rendezvous 22) are unsure. The affinities of the afrotheres (Rendezvous 13) and the coelacanths (Rendezvous 19) are still slightly unsure. The ordering of our rendezvous with cnidarians and ctenophores (Rendezvous 28 and 29) could be the wrong way round.
    很可能本书也会同病相怜，这不仅仅是因为猫猴和树鼩——跗猴的位置（见第7纪），以及七鳃鳗和八目鳗类鱼的分组（见第22纪）尚不能确定；远古非洲哺乳动物（见第13纪）和腔棘鱼类（见第19纪）的亲缘关系也有待商榷；而我们在刺丝胞动物和栉水母类（见第28纪和第29纪）章节的编排上也许也是一个错误。

6. Colugos glidebetween trees using their patagium, or flaps of skin between their front and hind legs and extending to the tail and the neck.
    鼯猴利用它们的翼膜在树之间滑翔，该翼膜是它们前后肢之间并一直延伸到尾部和颈部的片状悬垂物。
