Temminck's flying fox

Mammals

Temminck's flying fox (Pteropus temminckii) is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that is found in Indonesia. The IUCN classified it as vulnerable in 2008 because of threats from habitat destruction and hunting. It is one of the species that was once the parent of other masked flying fox forms: the Bismarck masked flying fox was largely considered a subspecies of this species until 1995. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as declining. Its own article is only two sentences long.
