Colugos (/kəˈluːɡoʊ/[2][3]), flying lemurs, or cobegos (/kəˈbiːɡoʊ/[4]), are arboreal gliding euarchontogliran mammals that are native to Southeast Asia. Their closest evolutionary relatives are primates. 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-/)[5] and order Dermoptera[1][6] (from Ancient Greek δέρμα - dérma, "skin" and πτερόν - pterón, "wing").[7]
