Philippine gray flying fox

Mammals

The Philippine gray flying fox (Pteropus speciosus) is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae found in Indonesia and the Philippines. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, gives its IUCN status as data deficient and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is only two sentences long, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
