Bat should be Categorized as Mammals and there is also mission for Bat "Bat Monitoring Project"

This looks very much like the flying fox bats I found in Vietnam. It might be either Pteropus vampyrus or Pteropus hypomelanus, probably the former rather than the latter based upon the location. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bats_of_Borneo for other options.
