Percy Island flying fox

Mammals

The Percy Island flying fox (Pteropus brunneus) is an extinct flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that was known from Percy Island in Australia. George Edward Dobson described it in 1878. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids marks it with a dagger as extinct, places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae and records its size, habitat and population as unknown. The same list gives its IUCN status as extinct, and it is one of six pteropodids that the list says have been driven extinct in modern times. It has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia under this name, so the list is the main source for this entry.
