Ceram fruit bat

Mammals

The Ceram fruit bat (Pteropus ocularis) is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae found in Indonesia, in forest. Wilhelm Peters described it in 1867. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae and gives its size as about 20 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 13 to 15 centimetres. The same list gives its IUCN status as vulnerable and describes its population as declining. It is one of the species of the large genus Pteropus, and it has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia, so the list is the main source for this entry.
