Western naked-backed fruit bat

Mammals

The western naked-backed fruit bat (Dobsonia peronii) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae that is endemic to Indonesia and Timor-Leste. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forest. 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 IUCN status as least concern, names forest and caves as its habitat and describes its population as steady.
