The minute fruit bat is a smaller short-nosed fruit bat that lives in rainforest on Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Sulawesi. Its reproduction is seasonal, with two birth seasons a year (continuous bimodal polyoestry): females breed in synchrony, giving birth 5–7 months apart, and there is a postpartum oestrus after each birth. Both sexes mature at about 7 months and females first give birth at about 12 months, so its reproductive rate is high relative to other fruit bats (Wikipedia, general species account).
