Gistarena: It is called Hammer-headed bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus), also known as the Big-lipped bat, a member of the family Pteropodidae. It is a megabat widely distributed in equatorial Africa. This large bat is found in riverine forests, mangroves, swamps, and palm forests at elevations less than 1,800 metres. Hammer-headed bats are frugivores. Figs make up much of their diet, but they may also include mangos, bananas and guavas. Those who killed this animal are idiots! It was probably guarding its babies or trying to steal fruits from the market. They should have either moved its babies or scared it away! This animal is about to go extinct. 2 Likes |

mine is correction, the front page title says "a specie" of bat, there is nothing like 'a specie' but a species. people with little or no knowledge about biology often commit this blunder even on newspaper. Species is both singular and plural term in biology |

[quote author=shortgun post=47437433]The hammer-headed bat (Hypsignathus monstrosus), also known as the big-lipped bat , is a megabat widely distributed in equatorial Africa . This large bat is found in riverine forests, mangroves , swamps , and palm forests at elevations less than 1,800 metres (5,900 ft). Taxonomy The hammer-headed bat is a member of the family Pteropodidae . Pteropodidae is divided into two subfamilies, Macroglossinae which contains six genera, and Pteropodinae containing thirty-six genera including Hypsignathus . The family Pteropodidae is found within the suborder, Megachiroptera . This group is commonly referred to as the megabats or flying foxes. Physical description The hammer-headed bat is the largest bat in Africa with a wingspan of 686 to 970 mm (27.0 to 38.2 in) and a total length of 195 to 285 mm (7.7 to 11.2 in). Males, ranging from 228 to 450 g (8.0 to 15.9 oz), are significantly larger than females, which range from 218 to 377 g (7.7 to 13.3 oz). [2][3] Pelage is grey-brown to slaty-brown with a whitish collar of fur extending from shoulder to shoulder. [4] The flight membranes are brown and the ears are dark brown with a tuft of white fur at the base. The face is dark brown with a few long, stiff whiskers around the mouth. The skull may be diagnosed by specific dental features. The second premolar and molars are markedly lobed. This feature is specific for this genus, and no other African fruit bats have this characteristic. There is extreme sexual dimorphism in this species. [5] The male possesses an enormous head for producing loud honking calls. [5] The enlarged rostrum, larynx and lips allow these sounds to be extremely resonant. The larynx is one half the length of the vertebral column and fills out most of the thoracic cavity. It is nearly three times larger in males than females. The male also has a hairless split chin and warty rostrum with wrinkled skin around it. Females have a much more fox-like appearance similar to most fruit bats. [4] Ecology and behavior Hammer-headed bats are frugivores . Figs make up much of their diet, but they may also include mangos, bananas and guavas . There are some complications inherent in a fruit diet such as insufficient protein intake. It is suggested that fruit bats compensate for this by possessing a proportionally longer intestine compared to insectivorous species. [4] This enhances their ability to absorb protein. They also have very rapid digestive systems allowing these bats to assimilate high amounts of fruit to ensure that adequate protein is absorbed. It is also suggested that by eating a wide variety of fruits with varying protein contents, fruit bats are able to maintain an entirely frugivorous diet.[6] Generally fruit is picked and taken to a nearby tree where it is chewed, the juice squeezed out and the pulp discarded. Since they often do not consume the pulp, these bats are not considered to be good seed distributors. [7] Males may forage long distances (up to 10 km or 6 mi) to locate the highest quality food. Females rely on established feeding routes that offer a constant supply of lower quality food. This may reflect different metabolic requirements based on body size differences. Large bats often experience difficulties with overheating during flight. The limited thermoregulatory capabilities of flying bats appears to be one factor closely associated with why flight activity primarily occurs during cooler nocturnal temperatures. It has been found that hammer-headed bats are able to tolerate higher ambient temperatures during flight than other bats. [8] This ability is associated with this bat’s high thermal conductance (C f ) which is defined as the total heat loss less the heat loss due to evaporation divided by body temperature less the ambient temperature (C f = [H 1 – He ]/[T b – T a ]). However, they are especially sensitive to ambient temperatures below 11 °C (52 °F) and a decrease in flight coordination is seen. Due to the large surface area of the wing, convective heat loss to cool air may be significant enough to chill flight muscles preventing the precise coordination essential for flight. These bats are nocturnal, roosting during the day in the forest canopy . They rely on camouflage to hide them from predators. [4] Specific species of trees are not selected for roosting, however some roosts may be used for long periods of time. Roosts are generally 20–30 metres (70–100 ft) from the ground. The main predators of this species are humans and nocturnal and diurnal birds of prey. However, infection by parasites is often the most significant problem for the hammer-headed bat. Adults are often infected with mites and the hepatoparasite, Hepatocystis carpenteri. Reproduction and mortality Little is know....
