Not a microbat

"The Guam flying fox (Pteropus tokudae) was a tiny microbat from Guam" ... "Order: Chiroptera, Family: Pteropodidae, Genus: Pteropus, Species: P. tokudae" -- Stating that a Pteropodidae bat is a microbat is wrong. Pteropodidae are colloquially called "megabats". P. tokudae may have been a small megabat, but calling it a microbat is confusing. (Or was it really a Microchiroptera?) -- 201.51.228.229 17:11, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed {carnivora-stub}

Removed {carnivora-stub}. Bats are not generally classed as carnivores, and megabats are mostly fruit-eaters. If I'm wrong here, put it back. :-) -- Writtenonsand 17:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
