Common Names in English:
Philippine Tube-nosed Fruit Bat
Description
Habitat
Ecology:
It is found in or adjacent
to forest
(sea
level to 1,300 m
), in both
primary
and secondary forest (Vinciguerra and Muller 1993). N.
rabori was previously thought to be confined to high-quality
forest, but it is tolerant
to a wider range
of habitats
than previously
suspected, having been recorded from degraded habitats on Negros,
and persisting in very degraded habitats on Cebu. During recent collections
,
the species has tended to be found near bodies of water.[1].
List of Habitats:
- 1 Forest
- 1.6 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Lowland
- 1.9 Forest - Subtropical/Tropical Moist Montane
- 14 Artificial/Terrestrial
- 14.6 Artificial/Terrestrial - Subtropical/Tropical Heavily Degraded Former Forest [more info]
