Genus: Balionycteris

Name: Spotted-winged fruit bat (Balionycteris maculata)

The SMALLEST megabat in the WORLD, found in Indonesia and Malaysia. They have dark brown wings with pale cream polka dots!!! Like a cute flying mushroom. They love elevated rain forests as well as costal mangrove forests. Their favorite foods include figs, persimmons, and spiders 🕷️. Amazing fact???? They peep whilst foraging!!!! They also make complex sounds and squeaks whilst socializing!!!! I think I’ll die of joy UGH. They dig roosts between fern roots, which is super uncommon. Sometimes they will even take over and or termite nests. They can have two pups per year, and don’t form monogamous partnerships. Pups weigh 0.1 oz at birth!!! And grow to 0.46 oz as adults, with a 2 in length. F r e a k i n g t i n y.
