Pohle's fruit bat (Casinycteris ophiodon) is a near threatened species of megabat found in the subtropical and tropical forests of Cameroon, the Republic of Congo, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Liberia.

[2] Pohle's fruit bats are also known as 'tear-drop' fruit bats because of the prominent tear-like white spots found on both sides of their eyes and on their upper lips.

Their fur is tinted and the wings are dark brown.

[3] They live in the lowland forests of West and Central Africa, mostly in the lowest level of undergrowth, where they feed on various fruits and flowers.

The main threats to the species' habitat include agriculture, mining, logging, and other human disturbances such as fire.
