Lesser naked-backed fruit bat

Mammals

The lesser naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia minor) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is found in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. 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 range as New Guinea, its IUCN status as least concern, forest as its habitat and its population trend as unknown. Its own article is a single sentence about its range, so little else about its biology is recorded there.
