big-eared mastiff bat
Otomops papuensis
The big-eared mastiff bat (Otomops papuensis) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae endemic to Papua New Guinea, known from Gulf Province and Oro Province. It is only known from 11 specimens and it is not easy to survey. It forages in rainforest canopy and roosts in tree hollows. It is likely more widespread than currently known but additional research is needed.
