Eupetaurus, the woolly flying squirrels, is a genus of three species found in the Himalayas and on the Tibetan Plateau, with populations split between a western group in Pakistan and northwestern India and an eastern group across the central and eastern Himalayas. These are large flying squirrels living on the highest rocky cliffs near the treeline, with flat-crowned yet high-crowned cheek teeth suited to abrasive plant food such as pine needles, and the genus has the largest cranium of any flying squirrel.
