Hayman's fruit bat

Hayman's fruit bat (Scotonycteris occidentalis) is a megabat of the family Pteropodidae found in western Africa, in forest. Robert William Hayman described it in 1947. The Wikipedia list of pteropodids places it in the subfamily Rousettinae with the other tear-drop fruit bats of the genus Scotonycteris, and gives its size as 6 to 9 centimetres in length with no tail and a forearm of 4 to 6 centimetres. The same list gives its IUCN status as least concern and records its population trend as unknown. It has no article of its own on the English Wikipedia, so the list is the main source for this entry.
