mangod

Mangod is a rare and endangered species of fruit bat native to the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. It is one of the smallest bats in the world, with a body length of about 3.5 to 4.5 centimeters and a wingspan of approximately 20 to 25 centimeters. The mangod is known for its distinctive appearance, with a long, pointed snout and large, round eyes. Its fur is typically a dark brown color, with a lighter underbelly.

The mangod is primarily frugivorous, feeding on a variety of fruits, including mangoes, which give the species its name. It is also known to consume nectar and small insects. The mangod is a solitary animal, typically found in lowland forests and mangrove swamps. It is a nocturnal species, becoming active after sunset and roosting in tree cavities during the day.

The mangod is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect the remaining mangod populations and their habitats. The mangod is an important indicator species for the health of its forest habitat, as it relies on a diverse range of fruit species for food.
