  • Flying Lizard, male
either <i>Draco volans</i> or <i>Draco spilopterus</i>
Antipolo, Rizal

The yellow flap of skin is called a dewlap. The male lizards use it to signal each other. Ronald Achacoso said,  "like a flag for visual territorial display (of mood or intent)".

  • Big spider, a female Nephila or Golden silk orb-weaver. The female is bigger than the male.<br />
According to wikipedia, "In Japanese folklore, Jorōgumo, a type of yōkai, is thought to be a Nephila (Jorō spider) which can shapeshift its appearance into a seductive woman."<br />

From Aimee Lynn, "harmless po sila; malaki po kasing energy ang required to produce venom so nakalaan po ito usually for hunting, rarely for defense; allergy-wise naman po ay depende pa din sa tao po; asthmatic po ako but di naman po ako allergic sa spider bite : ) di po sila mangangagat basta wag nyo lang po tatakpan ang mata :)"<br />

  • Philippine Flying Lemur
<i>Cynocephalu volans</i>
Rajah Sikatuna Park
Bilar, Bohol

"A nocturnal arboreal foliivore. Yes, they only navigate at night. They are very clumsy on the ground and cannot really walk but spend their entire lives hanging upside down from branches by day or gliding from tree to tree at night. .. It is not a lemur as true lemurs are only found in Madagascar and it doesn't even fly but glides. 

Belonging to its own order Dermoptera, the caguang is the most efficient gliding mammal in contrast to the flying squirrel which is considered as a crash andburn glider... the tail gliding membrane is observed in action more like an aircraft elevon, which enables this magnificent nocturnal creature capbable of executing aerial maneuvers and 180 degree turns." 
<i>From Johnny Cabreira</i>
