Macinnes's mouse-tailed bat

Macinnes's mouse-tailed bat, Rhinopoma macinnesi, is a species of bat in the family Rhinopomatidae, the mouse-tailed bats, a group of small insect-eating bats named for their long, slim tails. It is a bat of East Africa, recorded in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Uganda. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical dry shrubland and hot and temperate deserts, which fits the arid and semi-arid country that the mouse-tailed bats favour as a family. The main reference article on the species is very short and gives little beyond its identity, its range and its habitat, so this entry records only what those pages support and leaves its diet, roosting habits, measurements and conservation status to be added when a source page states them for this species itself.
