The Javan Tailless Fruit Bat (Megaerops kusnotoi ) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is endemic to Indonesia.
The consumption of bushmeat, meat from undomesticated animals, is a big ecological problem in Indonesia, and a threat to bat biodiversity. "Locals eat bats at least once a month, but the frequency increases tenfold around Christian holidays. Approximately 500 metric tons of bats are imported from other provinces, with South Sulawesi, Indonesia as the main provider at 38%." These high levels of excessive hunting and consumption of bats has made them become the most endangered species in Indonesia.
