A key pollinator and seed disperser in tropical forest ecosystems, it plays a vital ecological role across its range. Presented in a hanging form — replicating the species’ characteristic inverted roosting posture — this skeleton offers the most naturalistic and visually dramatic display option, with the full skeletal structure suspended as in life. Preserved with exceptional anatomical precision, it is a striking and scientifically compelling centrepiece for any serious collection or artistic display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect for naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BugsDirect","offers":[{"title":"Pack of 1","offer_id":46978183135421,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 3","offer_id":46978183168189,"sku":null,"price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Pack of 5","offer_id":46978183200957,"sku":null,"price":139.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1228\/7064\/files\/il_fullxfull.4314411534_9rxp.jpg?v=1782134408","url":"https:\/\/www.bugsdirect.com\/products\/cynopterus-brachyotis-hanging-skeleton","provider":"BugsDirect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
