Fischer's pygmy fruit bat

Mammals

Fischer's pygmy fruit bat, also called the Philippine pygmy fruit bat (Haplonycteris fischeri), is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae and the only species in the genus Haplonycteris. It is endemic to the Philippines, where its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Cynopterinae, gives its IUCN status as least concern and describes its population as steady. Its own article is short and records little beyond its range, its habitat and its place in the family.
