Duke of Abruzzi's free-tailed bat

Mammals

Duke of Abruzzi's free-tailed bat (Mops aloysiisabaudiae) is a species of bat in the family Molossidae, found in Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Ghana, South Sudan and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and moist savanna, and it is threatened by habitat loss. It was described as a new species in 1907 by E. Festa, who placed it in the now-defunct genus Nyctinomus; the species name is a Latinisation of one of the names of Prince Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi, with sabaudiae referring to the House of Savoy. Its fur is light chestnut brown, its flight membranes are blackish brown, its ears are large and rounded with very small tragi, its upper lip is very wrinkled, and its forearm is 38 to 43 millimetres long.
