Blanford's fruit bat (Sphaerias blanfordi mountain species of megabat . It is found in several countries in South and Southeast Asia.
Taxonomy
[ edit ]
Blanford's fruit bat was described as a new species in 1891 by English zoologist Oldfield Thomas , who put it in the genus Cynopterus C. blanfordi ).[2] eponym for its specific epithet "blanfordi " is English naturalist William Thomas Blanford .[3]
In 1906, American zoologist Gerrit Smith Miller Jr. proposed the new genus Sphaerias . He justified the inclusion of C. blanfordi in this genus as opposed to Cynopterus due to its lack of a calcar and the development of the incisors , whose shape he called "peculiar".[4]
Range and habitat
[ edit ]
It occurs in several countries in South and Southeast Asia, including Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand, and Vietnam.[1] [5] ft ) above sea level.[1]
Conservation
[ edit ]
As of 2021, it is listed as a least-concern species by the IUCN . It meets the criteria for this designation due to its large geographic range and presumably large population size. Additionally, it is unlikely to be experiencing rapid population decline.[1] [1] bushmeat at a market.[5]
