  • Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
  • Uma sikuluma: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.

2

It is the only bat species in the world with 22 teeth, although older individuals sometimes lose the last upper molars.1

3

Its brain is large for its body size, which may be because its hunting needs careful planning and stealth.1

4

5

It roosts with many other bat species, including the common vampire bat.1
