“…However, bat meat is also used as a source of food by some people (Mildenstein et al 2016;Suwannarong and Schuler 2016;Ransaleleh et al 2020) Wild animal meat may be eaten as halal food by the Minahasa people of North Sulawesi, Indonesia, particularly Christians. Types of wild animal meat consumed include bats (Ransaleleh et al 2013;Ransaleleh et al 2020), rats (Laatung et al 2021), pigs forest (Sus scrofa) and Reticulated python (Malayopython reticulatus) in Manado used to call rice field snake (Latinne et al 2020). The types of bats consumed include Pteropus alecto, known as Paniki yaki.…”

Abstract. Ransaleleh TA, Wahyuni I, Kawatu M, Laatung S, Lambey L, Rembet UNWJ. 2022. Growth of Pteropus alecto bats (Chiroptera: Pteropodidae) in cages. Biodiversitas 23: 6313-6319. Black Flying Fox (Pteropus alecto), known as Paniki yaki, is widely consumed by the residents of Minahasa, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is imported from outside the provinces of Gorontalo, Central Sulawesi, and South Sulawesi. The peak of selling bats in Sulawesi is during Thanksgiving Day and religious holidays such as Easter, Christmas, and New Year. Even though the conservation status of this species, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is of Least Concern, this species will one day become extinct due to continuous exploration without control. Conservation or cultivation is one of the efforts to preserve this type of bat. Cultivation will be successful when the growth of this mammal is outside the habitat. Therefore, research has been conducted on breeding this animal in cages using five bats. The bats had been taken from the captivity in Wanea Sub-district, Manado city, 58-533 days old. The fruits given as food are papaya, banana, and mango, and the variables measured were the amount of consumption, body weight gain, and morphometry. Furthermore, the data obtained were tabulated and narrated descriptively. The results showed that consumption of P. alecto 1,2,3,4 and 5 fruits were 110.64, 147.86, 192.61, 249.18, and 331.61 g/day, with body weight gain of 0.50, 0.53, 0.96, 1, 17, 1, and 50 g/day. The morphometric growth of P. alecto 1 was total body length 0.10, forearm 0.06, tibia 0.03, ear 0.01 and wingspan 0.08 mm/day. Sequentially, the morphometric growth of P. alecto 2 was 0.11, 0.07, 0.05, 0.01 and 0.12 mm/day, while P. alecto 3 was 0.29, 0.13, 0.06, 0.03, and 0.89 mm/day. The growth of P. alecto 4 was 0.19, 0.02, 0.02.0.01 and 0.89 mm/day, while P. alecto 5 was 0.20, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01 and 0.85 mm/day. In conclusion, the 1st and 2nd P. alecto were in early bone growth, while the 3rd P. alecto was in bone and meat growth, meanwhile, the 4th and 5th P. alecto were in meat and slow bone growth.

“…Meanwhile, the tradition of hunting in the sea, for example, the tradition of hunting whales is carried out by the Lamalera Tribe, which is already worldwide, and the tradition of hunting for turtles from the Mentawai tribe. [22]. All forms of hunting traditions can be carried out seasonally, for example the hunting tradition on Soyang Island and Deer Island on Pantar Island, Alor Regency, East Nusa Tenggara.…”

The tradition of hunting deer is an inseparable part of human life in ancient times and until now the tradition of hunting in the Kuligang community is still preserved. The purpose of this study was to identify the types of sports, especially athletics. The method in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The population in this study amounted to 10 Kuligang tribal chiefs, and then all of these populations were used as subjects in this study. All subjects were male with 4 people aged 54.56 and 63 years, then 3 people aged 37, 28, and 41 years, 1 person aged 79 years old, 1 person aged 80 years old and 1 person aged 68 years old. The occupations of all subjects are farmers and fishermen. The data collection in this study was observation and in-depth interviews. This study uses two sources of data, namely: 1). Sources of direct data that researchers get from the subject/ resource person, 2). Indirect data sources that researchers found from books and articles that are relevant to this research. Data analysis in this study includes data reduction, data presentation, and data conclusion drawing. The results of this study prove that there are four sports identified, namely javelin throwing, archery, running and walking, so it can be concluded that the hunting tradition of the Kuligang community has sports activities.
