Habitat:
The species roosts in caves and can be found in colonies of more than 100 individuals. It inhabits secondary and primary lowland to hill forest (Medway 1983).
Following mating, there appears to be a relatively long period of delayed embryonic development with a relatively rapid embryonic development from July to September (Kofon 2007). There is generally a synchronized birth season around October followed by 2-4 months of lactation (Kofon 2007). Reproduction appears to be linked to the flowering/fruiting and availability of specific plant species (Kofon 2007).

Range:
This species occurs in Peninsular Malaysia, and throughout Borneo, and Sumatra.
Conservation:
It is found in protected areas throughout its range. Cave roosts warrant protection and research is needed on the ecology, life history, population and threats of the species.
