The tube-nosed bat is one of the major discoveries scientists made in Papua New Guinea. In 2009, scientists went deep into the remote mountains of Papua New Guinea, Nacai Nai and Muller, for a two-month expedition, and discovered for the first time more than 200 new species of animals and plants, including the tube-nosed fruit bat that looks a lot like the Jedi master Yoda in Star Wars, an orange spider and a frog with yellow dots.

Because before that, the Philippine fruit bat was a rare family of foxes and was the largest bat in the world. They are endangered and risk extinction due to hunting. The maned Maurice-toothed fox bat is nocturnal, with a wingspan of at least 1.5 m and a weight of about 1.2 kg. They can fly up to 40 kilometers to forage, mainly eating a variety of fruits, especially figs. Since they specialize in fruit, they can help spread seeds and contribute greatly to the replanting of forests. The Philippine government is planning to conserve the maned Maurice fox bat from extinction. Their population once exceeded a thousand, but it has been greatly reduced due to habitat loss and hunting.
