The dusky fruit bat has short grey-brown fur, paler on the chest and belly, a slightly longer dark brown fur on the head, dark brown to black wings, a dog-like muzzle, large eyes and dark-edged ears. It is an uncommon species of lowland and lower montane forest, and in Thailand it is found in the south (Ecology Asia species account).
It roosts by day in colonies in dark rock crevices and quiet caves. It feeds mainly on fruit, often flying away from the fruiting tree to eat, though many individuals carry food back to the cave roost (Ecology Asia species account).
