Activity patterns. The Bornean Leaf-nosed Bat roosts in caves, rock crevices, and hollow trees. Call frequency of the F segment is 195-200 kHz. Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Bornean Leaf-nosed Bat was caught in the same trap with Kunz’s Leaf-nosed Bats (Ä kunzz), Bicolored Leaf-nosed Bats (H. bicolor), and Dayak Leaf-nosed Bats (H. dyacorum), as well as other forest-dwelling Murèna and Kerivoula.
