Fierce roundleaf bat

Mammals

The fierce roundleaf bat, Hipposideros dinops, also called the giant horseshoe bat or fierce leaf-nosed bat, is a large leaf-nosed bat of the southwest Pacific. The English Wikipedia article places it in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, while the Mammal Diversity Database lists Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, giving the type locality as Roviana Lagoon, a small inlet near the western coast of New Georgia in the Solomon Islands. The database places it in the Australasian realm and records an IUCN status of Vulnerable. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub with no account of its biology, so its diet, roosts and numbers are not described here.
