The Vanuatu flying fox, or white flying fox (Pteropus anetianus), is a flying fox of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Vanuatu. It is most closely related to the Samoa flying fox. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Pteropodinae, gives its IUCN status as vulnerable, names forest as its habitat and describes its population as declining. Its own article is only two sentences long, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
