Selangor pygmy flying squirrel

Mammals

The Selangor pygmy flying squirrel (Petaurillus kinlochii) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Malaysia, and within the country it has only been found in the State of Selangor, which gives the species its common name. It belongs to the genus Petaurillus, which the atlas holds as its own taxon entry. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives the family, the binomial and this narrow range and says nothing of its appearance, habitat, diet or conservation status, so those facts stay open in this entry until a source that states them is read for this species.
