Woodford's fruit bat, also known as the orange fruit bat (Melonycteris woodfordi, listed as Nesonycteris woodfordi in the Wikipedia list of pteropodids), is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Solomon Islands. The list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Macroglossusinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is a single sentence about its range and common names, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
