English: Musky Fruit Bat
Ptenochirus is a genus of bat in the family Pteropodidae.[1] It contains the following species:
Greater musky fruit bat, Ptenochirus jagori
Lesser musky fruit bat, Ptenochirus minor
Both the Ptenochirus jagori and the Ptenochirus minor are considered endemic to the Philippines and are considered to be seed dispersers of diverse trees. The Ptenochirus may be protected if the Ficus species, their primary food choice, is conserved.[2]
