L
starts withAndersen noted that it differed from the long-tongued nectar bat in several ways.Overall, it is a larger species with a longer snout.Its forearm is 42–48.5 mm (1.65–1.91 in) long.Individuals weigh 18–26 g (0.63–0.92 oz).
Unlike the long-tongued nectar bat, which is considered a coastal species, the long-tongued fruit bat is considered an inland species.Its range includes several countries in Asia, including Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam.
It is nectarivorous, feeding on the nectar of flowers.It consumes nectar almost exclusively from banana flowers.It is nocturnal, foraging at night and roosting during the day in trees.When roosting during the day, it roosts singly or in small, "well-spaced parties."
It is currently assessed as least concern by the IUCN—its lowest conservation priority.It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a large geographic range; its range includes protected areas; it tolerates some human-mediated landscape changes, and its population is thought to be stable.
