"Colugo" - Flying Lemur

Borneo is home to some of the world's most unique animals and certainly near the top of that list would be this flying lemur known locally as a Colugo. Technically they don't actually fly but glide between the trees very much like a "flying" squirrel.

Completely nocturnal this animal glides through the jungle at night on a membrane that runs between its hands and feet called a patagium. I love how the mottled fur looks very much like the bark of the tree trunks where it spends so much of its time.

Nature is just amazing!

I love rays. A sturgeon seems like that would be interesting as well. I've touched sea cucumbers and jellyfish, but your sea slug guy seems like it'd be way more muscular.
