The dwarf flying fox, also known as the least flying fox or least fruit bat (Pteropus woodfordi), is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Solomon Islands. It is threatened by deforestation, which is believed to damage its roosting sites in old growth forest. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as declining. Its own article is only three sentences long, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
