Kei flying fox

Mammals

The Kei flying fox (Pteropus keyensis) is a megabat of the genus Pteropus found in the Kai Islands of Indonesia. It was formerly considered a subspecies of the black-bearded flying fox. Very little is known about the species, its habitat or the threats to it. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, gives its IUCN status as data deficient, lists its habitat as unknown and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is short and records little beyond its range and its former status as a subspecies.
