Not all birds can fly. Similarly, not all animals lack the ability to defy gravity. Here are five rare animals that can fly in the air.
Also known as the Japanese common squid, the animal is native to the north Pacific Ocean, specifically around Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the Bering Strait.
These nocturnal mammals have wings made of a thin membrane stretched between elongated finger bones.
While not true flight in the same sense as birds or bats, flying fish can glide through the air for impressive distances.

Certain species of frogs, such as the Wallace's flying frog, have webbed feet and skin flaps between their limbs that allow them to glide short distances.
