Peleng leaf-nosed bat

Mammals

The Peleng leaf-nosed bat, Hipposideros pelingensis, is a bat native to Sulawesi and other nearby Indonesian islands, and the Mammal Diversity Database gives its type locality as Peleng Island, east of Sulawesi. It has been recorded in Marus National Park and Lambu Sango National Reserve. The database places it in the Australasian realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Near Threatened. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub that gives its range and the two protected areas where it has been recorded, so its size, diet and roosting habits are not described here and are left to later sources.
