Are Colugo Endangered

Although Philippine Colugos are not endangered, they are threatened by deforestation and loss of habitat.

How many Colugos are there in the world?

There are just two living species of colugos: the Sunda flying lemur (Galeopterus variegatus) and the Philippine flying lemur (Cynocephalus volans). These two species make up the entire family Cynocephalidae (/ˌsaɪnoʊˌsɛfəˈlaɪdi, -ˌkɛ-/) and order Dermoptera. They are the most capable gliders of all gliding mammals.
