The Sunda flying fox, or Sunda fruit bat (Acerodon mackloti), is a bat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Indonesia and Timor-Leste. The IUCN categorises it as vulnerable, meaning an intermediate chance of becoming endangered, because of the deforestation of mangrove trees for shrimp aquaculture. It is one of the sharp-toothed flying foxes of the genus Acerodon, and the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as declining.
