Large Asian Leaf-nosed Bat, Large Asian Roundleaf Bat
Description
Habitat
Ecology:
All known sites are limestone cave areas; the species can survive
in degraded forest
and a population is known from a forest fragment
within a sugar
cane
plantation in Thailand (S. Bumrungsri pers. comm.
).
The two known specimens from the Philippines were collected close
to sea
level in ultrabasic forest, and in an agricultural area near
a river
(Balete et al.
1995).[1].

Last scrutiny: 08-Jun-2004
As currently defined, this species is variable geographically. The
Philippines population is likely to represent a different species,
a comprehensive revision
is needed (Heaney et al.
1998).
