The 70 or so species of wild bananas in the genus Musa have small, banana-shaped fruits of various colors, full of hard black seeds. Although small compared with cultivated bananas, the ones I have seen have been 5-10 cm long, with a thick peel. In Xishuangbanna, SW China, the seeds are dispersed largely by 50-gram fruit bats, which carry them off to a feeding roost < 200 m away for processing and only swallow the pulp (Meng et al. 2012 Integrative Zoology 2012; 7: 30–40). Birds also peck out bits from ripe fruits. The Australian species are reportedly eaten by feral pigs. Does anyone know what disperses other species?
Perhaps reading these sources (incl. attached factsheet) could help a little:

There are some records of fruit consumption by bats for Musa paradisiaca, the commercial species. And there are also some records for unidentified wild species of Musa. Check the Bat-Plant Databases: https://www.batplant.org. I'm also curious about it!
