Orbiculus leaf-nosed bat

Mammals

The orbiculus leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros orbiculus, also known as the orbiculus roundleaf bat and the small disc roundleaf bat, is a member of the family Hipposideridae found on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia and in peninsular Malaysia. The Mammal Diversity Database gives the type locality as Abai Siat southeast of Kota Baru in West Sumatra and places the species in the Indomalayan realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Vulnerable. The English Wikipedia article is a two-sentence stub that gives its names and range, so details of its size, diet, roosting habits and numbers are not described here and are left to later sources.
