The hairy slit faced bat - unfortunate name if ever there was one.

 

Geographic Range

 

Hairy slit-faced bats, Nycteris hispida, are common in Africa south of the Sahara desert. There are two subspecies; N. h. hispida lives in Uganda, Sudan, and Somalia, whereas N. h. villosa lives in South Africa and Mozambique. (Kingdon, 1984; Meester, 1966)

 

Biogeographic Regions:

ethiopian (native ).

Habitat

 

These bats are at home in both human populated communities and in the wild. In settlements they are found roosting in roofs or empty rooms. In the wild they can be found resting in bushes, aardvark holes, termite mounds, hollow trees and papyrus crowns. N. hispida lives just about anywhere, from dry open country to moist woodlands and marshes, often flying through papyrus swamps. (Kingdon, 1984)
