Theobald's tomb bat

Mammals

Theobald's tomb bat (Taphozous theobaldi) is a species of sac-winged bat in the family Emballonuridae found in India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam; the Mammal Diversity Database lists Cambodia and Laos as well. Dobson described it in 1872 under the name Taphozous theobaldi, and its type locality is Tenasserim in Burma. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Indomalayan realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so details of its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented, though the Wikipedia article on the family Emballonuridae says that emballonurids feed mainly on insects and occasionally on fruit.
