An uncommon, poorly documented fruit bat named after the Dayak peoples of Borneo, with unusually robust molar teeth thought to allow it to feed on harder, less-ripe fruit than most fruit bats can process.
Nocturnal and closely tied to intact forest interior; infrequently recorded compared with Borneo's more common fruit bats.
