Iinyaniso

It can glide a horizontal distance of 10 metres (33 feet) or more from the top of a tree.1

To glide, it flattens its body into a strip by spreading its ribs.1

Slow-motion photography shows it moves its body in waves during flight, suggesting controlled flight.1

It usually starts a glide with an anchored J-loop take-off.1
