Ratanaworabhan's fruit bat

Mammals

Ratanaworabhan's fruit bat (Megaerops niphanae) is a megabat in the family Pteropodidae that is found in Bhutan, India, Thailand and Vietnam. It is one of the tailless fruit bats of the genus Megaerops and belongs to the subfamily Cynopterinae. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its range as southeastern Asia, its IUCN status as least concern, forest as its habitat and its population as steady. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
