Big-eared roundleaf bat

Mammals

The big-eared roundleaf bat, Hipposideros macrobullatus, is a leaf-nosed bat endemic to Indonesia, known from the Kangean Islands, southwestern Sulawesi and Seram Island. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Talassa in the Maros area of South Sulawesi at about 300 metres. It roosts in caves and tree hollows and probably forages in woodland, and it is threatened by habitat loss through logging and other human activities. The database lists it as a living species of the Australasian realm that has not been evaluated for the IUCN Red List. The English Wikipedia article is brief, so its size, diet and numbers are not described here.
