Cynopterus sphinx
Greater short-nosed fruit bat (Cynopterus sphinx) pollinating wild banana in Thailand. Wild banana plants, the source of all commercial varieties, require bats like this short-nosed fruit bat for pollination. These plants are invaluable sources of genetic material needed to improve cultivated varieties.
