Fawn-colored Leaf-nosed Bat, Fawn Horseshoe-bat, Fawn Leaf-nosed Bat, Fawn Roundleaf Bat, Gould's Leaf-nosed Bat
Description
Habitat
Typically found at an altitude of 0 to 761 meters (0 to 2,497 feet).[1]
Ecology:
Found at low elevation
habitats
between sea
level to 1,400 m
asl
(K
. Helgen pers. comm.
2006). The species is typically tied to caves,
but can be found in a variety of habitat types (K. Helgen pers. comm.
).
This species has been recorded from primary
and secondary tropical
moist forest
and also from open forest habitats. It roosts in caves
(especially large caves), abandoned mines and in hollow trees
. Many
hundreds
of individuals may be encountered at a single roost. The
females give birth to a single young (Flannery 1995; Strahan 1995;
Bonaccorso 1998).[2].

.
Last scrutiny: 08-Jun-2004
The taxonomic
status and distribution of this species were discussed
by Jenkins and Hill
(1981). There is a need for studies of geographic
variation
across the species' range
(L. Heaney and K
. Helgen pers.
comm.
).[2].
