Pallas's tube-nosed bat

Mammals

Pallas's tube-nosed bat, also known as the Torresian tube-nosed bat or northern tube-nosed bat (Nyctimene cephalotes), is a megabat in the genus Nyctimene found in Indonesia. Its range may extend to New Guinea, but sightings there may be due to misidentification, and its range may at one time also have extended to Timor, where it was extirpated because of habitat loss. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Nyctimeninae, gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown.
