Gambian epauletted fruit bat

Mammals

The Gambian epauletted fruit bat (Epomophorus gambianus) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found across West, Central and East Africa, from Senegal and Gambia to Ethiopia, including Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Chad, Ghana, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Sudan and Togo. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest and savanna. Epauletted fruit bats are threatened by pesticides on fruit, human disturbance and past over-collecting, but the main threat is habitat destruction. They have grayish-brown fur with a white patch at the base of the ear in both sexes, and are very noisy.
