The Borneo fruit bat (Aethalops aequalis) is a species of megabat found in the mountains of Borneo, specifically East Malaysia and Brunei. It is considered a subspecies of Aethalops alecto by some authors.[1]
The Borneo fruit bat typically roosts in small groups in trees, under banana leaves, palm fronds and man-made structures.[3]
