This study was carried on the tongues of ten normal, healthy and adult fruit bats (Rousettus amplexicaudatus, also known as the nyap biasa bat) in Yogyakarta, Java Island, Indonesia. The tongue was protrusible, elongated and flat with a rounded apex, and its width and thickness increased gradually towards to lingual root. There were two main types of lingual papillae, mechanical (filiform) and gustatory (fungiform and circumvallate). The tongue was divided into three parts (apex, corpus and radix), and then, each part was subdivided into three regions (two lateral regions and a median region). There were six subtypes of the filiform papillae-three types on the anterior part (small, scale-like and giant), one type on the middle part (leaf-like papillae) and two types on the posterior part (rosette-shaped filiform and conical filiform papillae)-in addition to transitional papillae presented on the corpus and radix. Two types of gustatory papillae were represented by a small number of fungiform papillae that are scattered among the filiform papillae on the lingual apex and corpus, while three circumvallate papillae on the posterior part are arranged in a "V" shape pointing directly at the larynx.
本研究以印度尼西亚爪哇岛日惹市的十只正常、健康的成年果蝠（安氏果蝠，也称为普通果蝠）的舌头为研究对象。其舌头可伸出，呈细长扁平状，舌尖圆润，宽度和厚度向舌根逐渐增加。舌乳头主要有两种类型，即机械性（丝状）乳头和味觉性（菌状和轮廓乳头）乳头。舌头分为三个部分（舌尖、舌体和舌根），然后每个部分又细分为三个区域（两个外侧区域和一个中间区域）。丝状乳头有六种亚型，前部有三种类型（小的、鳞状的和巨大的），中部有一种类型（叶状乳头），后部有两种类型（莲座状丝状乳头和锥形丝状乳头），此外，舌体和舌根上还有过渡乳头。两种味觉乳头表现为少量散在于舌尖和舌体丝状乳头之间的菌状乳头，而后部的三个轮廓乳头呈“V”形排列，直接指向喉部。
