About This Specimen

Cynopterus sphinx is the largest member of the genus — the specific epithet sphinx evoking the enigmatic, watchful quality of this bat’s characteristically alert, dog-faced repose — and one of the most widespread and well-studied fruit bats in South and Southeast Asia, distributed from Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka through to southern China, the Malay Peninsula, and the Indonesian archipelago.  A precise, scientifically significant, and behaviourally fascinating addition to any serious natural history collection or comparative anatomy study.

Perfect for mammalogists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.
