Coastal sheath-tailed bat

The coastal sheath-tailed bat (Taphozous australis), or coastal tomb bat, is a species of sheath-tailed bat in the family Emballonuridae found in Australia and Papua New Guinea. John Gould described it in 1854, and the type locality is the maritime caves in the sandstone cliffs of Albany Island off the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. The Mammal Diversity Database places it in the Australasian realm and records its IUCN Red List status as Near Threatened. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so its diet, roosts, habits and population trend are not yet written up in the sources read and remain to be documented, though the family description in the Wikipedia article on Emballonuridae says that emballonurids feed mainly on insects and occasionally on fruit.
