Sorensen's leaf-nosed bat

Mammals

Sorensen's leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros sorenseni, is a species of the family Hipposideridae that is endemic to Indonesia. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Gua Kramat, the Holy Cave, at Pangandaran in West Java. It places the species in the Indomalayan realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Endangered. The English Wikipedia article is a single sentence that states its family and its endemism, so published detail on its size, diet and roosts is not repeated here and is left for later sources to supply.
