Island tube-nosed fruit bat

Mammals

The island tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene major) is a bat of the family Pteropodidae that is found in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It is one of the tube-nosed fruit bats of the genus Nyctimene, which the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places in the subfamily Nyctimeninae. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
