The Philippine Flying Lemur is endemic to the Philippines. Its population is concentrated in the Mindanao region and Bohol. Although called a flying lemur, it cannot fly and is not a lemur, the endemic primates found in Madagascar and the Comoro Islands. The Philippine Flying Lemur is one of the two species of the order Dermoptera. The other species is the Sunda Flying Lemur. The Philippine Flying Lemur is arboreal and usually reside in primary and secondary forests. However, some wander into coconut, banana and rubber plantations. They are considered as pests since they eat fruits and flowers and are hunted down by humans.
