Explanation:

The Flying Lemur (also known as colugos) has a membrane of skin (skin flaps) called a patagium. This patagium extends from its neck to its tail and between its limbs. When it jumps from a tree, it can spread out this skin flap. The large surface area of the skin flap interacts with the air, creating lift and allowing it to glide. Short fur is mainly for insulation and protection. Camouflage helps it blend into its environment (like tree - bark colors) to avoid predators but not for gliding. A thin body might be somewhat related to reducing weight but is not the key adaptation for gliding. The skin flaps are the primary physical structure that enables gliding.

Answer:

skin flaps
