A small, dark-furred fruit bat notable for roosting in caves — an unusual habit among fruit bats, most of which roost in foliage — alongside insectivorous cave-dwelling bat species.
Nocturnal, emerging from cave roosts to feed on fruit in surrounding forest. Cave counts sometimes reveal substantial colonies.
