Meet the striped leaf-nosed bat (Macronycteris vittata) 🦇

We caught two individuals of this striking species during a survey last week in at Kumbali Game Reserve , only our third record of M. Vittata in Malawi 🙌

This is a large, insect-eating bat that forages in cluttered woodland and forest edges, using powerful echolocation to hunt beetles and other hard-bodied insects. It follows that up with quite a fiesty attitude!
