AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This species is especially notable in taxidermy for its striking appearance, exotic origin, and relatively scarce availability in Europe. Split into skeletal and original display.
The Cynopterus sphinx, also known as the short-nosed fruit bat or greater short-nosed fruit bat, is a small flying fox from South and Southeast Asia. This bat has a relatively long snout and fine, silky fur, ranging from brown to orange on the dorsal side with a lighter underside. Adults have a wingspan of up to 48 cm and are characterized by white-edged ears and wing bones.
Habitat
Cynopterus sphinx lives in tropical forests, grasslands, mangroves, and agricultural areas from Pakistan to Vietnam. They often roost high in palm trees or make tent-like shelters from palm fronds or leaves of climbing plants when palms are absent.
Noteworthy in Taxidermy
