Sulawesi harpy fruit bat

Mammals

The Sulawesi harpy fruit bat (Harpyionycteris celebensis) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Indonesia, where it is found on Sulawesi and at Soloi on Buton Island. It is frugivorous and lives around high quality forest habitat at heightened elevation, and specimens have also been recorded in cocoa plantations. How the species roosts is still unknown, even though specimens have been captured. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Harpyionycterinae, gives its IUCN status as near threatened and describes its population as declining.
