The masked flying fox, also called the Moluccan masked flying fox or masked fruit bat (Pteropus personatus), is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Indonesia and native to the North Moluccan islands. It is part of a species complex of closely related species, and its article notes that the species is hunted. 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 steady. Its own article is short and records little else about its biology.
