The Samoa flying fox (Pteropus samoensis) is a species of flying fox in the family Pteropodidae. It is found in Samoa, American Samoa and Fiji. Its habitat is primary or secondary moist forest, plantations, agroforest and the vicinity of villages. Unlike most flying foxes, this species roosts alone or in small family groups. It is threatened by habitat loss.Interesting fact

The coin's design highlights the importance of preserving and respecting the natural world, and it serves as a reminder of the beauty and value of all living creatures.
