The tailless fruit bat (Megaerops ecaudatus) is a fruit bat of the family Pteropodidae that lives in primary forest and open habitat from Thailand and Vietnam through Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra to Borneo, where it has been recorded in Sabah, Sarawak, Brunei and Kalimantan. Individuals have been found in lowland primary forest at Poring in Sabah and Taleban in Thailand and in the Bario highland and the Balui secondary forest in Sarawak. One specimen was taken from a canopy net about 30 metres above the ground and another at 1,100 metres elevation in the Bario uplands. In the Cameron Highlands of Peninsular Malaysia, females were pregnant in February through March and in June, and females with suckling young were seen in November. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids gives its IUCN status as least concern.
