    A tube-nosed fruit bat is a type of bat characterized by its tubular nostrils. They are found primarily in the rainforests of South and South-East Asia, Australia, and the tropical Pacific Islands. These bats generally feed on fruits, and play a crucial role in seed dispersal in their natural habitats. They are named for their peculiar nasal structure which is believed to assist in the consumption of fruits. Some popular species under this category include the Island tube-nosed fruit bat and the Common tube-nosed fruit bat.
