Noack's roundleaf bat

Mammals

Noack's roundleaf bat, Hipposideros ruber, also called Noack's leaf-nosed bat, is found throughout tropical Africa, from Senegal and Gambia in the west to Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania in the east and south to Angola, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia, and the Mammal Diversity Database lists more than thirty countries. The type locality is the Ngerengere River in Eastern Province, Tanzania. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forests, moist savanna, and caves and other subterranean habitats. The database places it in the Afrotropical realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Least Concern. Sundevall's roundleaf bat is so similar that the two were once considered a single species.
