The Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus), also called Malayan flying lemur and Malayan colugo, is the sole colugo species of the genus Galeopterus. [1] It is native to Southeast Asia from southern Myanmar, Thailand, southern Vietnam, Malaysia to Singapore and Indonesia and listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. [2]
Newborn colugos are underdeveloped and weigh only 35 g (1.2 oz). [17] They spend the first six months of life clinging to their mother's belly. The mother colugo curls her tail and folds her patagium into a warm, secure, quasipouch to protect and transport her young. The young do not reach maturity until they are two to three years old. [9]
The two species of colugos make up the order Dermoptera. They are arboreal gliding mammals found in Southeast Asia. Family Cynocephalidae. Genus: Galeopterus. Sunda flying lemur, G. variegatus LC [15]
