Lesser Short-nosed Fruit Bat

The lesser short-nosed fruit bat, also called the lesser dog-faced fruit bat, is a small fruit bat weighing 21 to 32 g and measuring 7 to 12.7 cm. It is brown to yellowish-brown with a brighter collar, dark orange in males and yellowish in females, and has white-edged ears and wing bones. It occurs in many habitats, most often in disturbed forest, including lower montane forest and lowland rainforest, plus gardens, mangroves and beach vegetation (Wikipedia, general species account).

It prefers aromatic fruit, especially mangoes, extracting the juice and soft pulp, and also takes nectar and pollen. Groups roost in trees, with males often roosting alongside up to four females and female groups reaching 20. Males build leaf shelters by chewing palm fronds, which can take over two months. Breeding details in the source come from the Philippines (Wikipedia, general species account).
