I have homework for my summer school biology class. I have to make a road map across a cladogram, but I can't find one to suit my needs. I have to start from the beggining and make my way to a selected animal, say a Flying Fox. I can't find one. Does anyone know where I might find one? Any answer will be explored. Please help!

We're pretty luke-warm around here, about doing students homework for them. That said, I'll promote this and perhaps some members can post some useful tidbits.
​
Also, will probably tweak title a bit.
​
Note: Going into the "Coffee House". This is going to be a short, quick topic, not a significant evolution discussion.

A good source from cladograms at multiple levels is the Tree of Life. I'm not sure what you are going to decide on as being the beginning of the tree, do you mean the root/outgroup?

An outgroup will work just fine, thanks!

I've sent you a private email. You should be able to find a path by starting at the base of the tree (the root) and working up to the two species in question.
​
It sounds like an odd question for an exam - why not post more details? You've got me curious!
