Long-tongued fruit bat (Macroglossus sobrinus)
The long-tongued fruit bat (Macroglossus genus) is *a nectar-feeding megabat from South and Southeast Asia, known for its exceptionally long tongue used to drink nectar and pollen from flowers, especially banana blossoms, making it a crucial pollinator for many plants.
These nocturnal bats roost in trees and are vital for plant fertilization, acting like the "hummingbirds of the bat world.”
