moluccan naked-backed fruit bat
Dobsonia moluccensis
The Moluccan naked-backed fruit bat is a large flying fox with an unusual back structure. The skin of its wings attaches to the center of its back, so the back remains without fur.
The Moluccan naked-backed fruit bat differs from other flying foxes by its bare back due to the special attachment of its wings. It is important for tropical forests because it transfers pollen and disperses plant seeds.
Bites fruit pulp with teeth and collects nectar with a long tongue.
