The species is abundant and widely distributed; it faces no significant short-term risk.
The Malayan colugo, also called the flying lemur although it is neither a lemur nor does it fly, is a gliding mammal of South-East Asia. Its patagium, the membrane of skin it spreads to glide, is the most complete of any mammal: it runs from the neck to the tips of the fingers, between the limbs and all the way to the end of the tail. It is nocturnal and herbivorous, eating leaves, shoots and flowers, and by day it stays motionless and camouflaged against a trunk. On the ground it is extremely clumsy and very vulnerable.
