Long-haired fruit bat

Mammals

The long-haired fruit bat, also known as the long-haired rousette (Stenonycteris lanosa in its own article, Stenonycteris lanosus in the Wikipedia list of pteropodids), is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae and the only member of the genus Stenonycteris. It was formerly classified in the genus Rousettus until a 2013 phylogenetic study found it belonged to its own genus and tribe. It is native to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist montane forest. The list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern, with a declining population.
