二名法 Pteropus mariannusDesmarest，1822 瑪利安娜狐蝠（Pteropus mariannus），又名馬里亞那狐蝠，是關島及其他馬里亞納群島上的一種狐蝠科。牠們因失去棲息地、受到獵殺及掠食而進入瀕危的狀態。 瑪利安娜狐蝠主要吃果實，如無花果、蕉、番石榴及木瓜等。 瑪利安娜狐蝠是查莫羅人的美食，並與關島型肌萎縮性側索硬化-帕金徵群癡呆綜合症有關。牠們被發現會吃大量的蘇鐵類種子，並像一些鷹般會在脂肪組織上積聚滴滴涕，甚至到達危險的水平。[2] 參考 ^ Pteropus mariannus.

Encyclopedic overview
The Mariana fruit bat (Pteropus mariannus), also known as the Mariana flying fox, and the fanihi in Chamorro, is a megabat found only in the Mariana Islands and Ulithi (an atoll in the Caroline Islands). Habitat loss has driven it to endangered status, and it is listed as threatened by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Poaching, habitat loss, and the introduction of invasive species have contributed to the species' decline.
