Large Asian roundleaf bat

Mammals

The large Asian roundleaf bat, Hipposideros lekaguli, is a leaf-nosed bat found in Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, with Cambodia added by the Mammal Diversity Database. The species name commemorates the Thai zoologist and conservationist Boonsong Lekagul, and the type locality is the Phu Nam Tok Tap Kwang waterfall at Kaeng Khoi in Saraburi, Thailand. The database also lists it as the large Asian leaf-nosed bat, places it in the Indomalayan realm as a living species and gives it an IUCN status of Near Threatened. The English Wikipedia article is only two sentences long, so details of its size, diet and roosting habits are not described here and are left for later sources.
