Round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat

Mammals

The round-eared tube-nosed fruit bat (Nyctimene cyclotis) is a bat of the family Pteropodidae that is found in West Papua and on Mansuar Island in Indonesia. It is possibly conspecific with the mountain tube-nosed fruit bat, although its taxonomy remains unresolved: Randolph L. Peterson investigated the possible synonymy in 1991 and found that the species split into two distinct groups on morphology. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as data deficient, names forest as its habitat and records its population trend as unknown.
