Creatures that glide, including the harlequin tree frog

About This Program

The veteran naturalist visits the jungles of Borneo to meet creatures that like to glide through life - the harlequin tree frog and the little-known colugo - often referred to, incorrectly, as a flying lemur. He also has a CGI-assisted encounter with the first true vertebrate flyer, the pterosaur, receives a flying lesson from a small flock of swans at Loch Lomond in Scotland and encounters the planet's largest species of bat
