Solomon's naked-backed fruit bat

Mammals

Solomon's naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia inermis) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to the Solomon Islands. It is one of the naked-backed fruit bats of the genus Dobsonia, which the Wikipedia list of pteropodids places in the subfamily Harpyionycterinae. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern, names forest and caves as its habitat and describes its population as steady. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
