Jones's roundleaf bat

Mammals

Jones's roundleaf bat, Hipposideros jonesi, also called Jones's leaf-nosed bat, is endemic to southern West Africa. The Mammal Diversity Database lists it from Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, with Benin and Togo uncertain, and gives the type locality as Makeni in Sierra Leone. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry forest, savanna, subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland, rocky areas, and caves and other subterranean habitats. The database places it in the Afrotropical realm as a living species with an IUCN status of Near Threatened. The English Wikipedia article is a short stub, so its size, diet and numbers are not described here.
