Megadermatidae, or False Vampire Bats, are a family of bats found from central Africa, eastwards through southern Asia, and into Australia. They are relatively large bats, ranging from 6.5 cm to 14 cm in head-body length. They have large eyes, very large ears and a prominent nose-leaf. They have a wide membrane between the hind legs, or uropatagium, but no tail. Many species are a drab brown in color, but some are white, bluish-grey or even olive-green, helping to camouflage them against their preferred roosting environments. They are primarily insectivorous, but will also eat a wide range of small vertebrates. ==Classification== FAMILY MEGADERMATIDAE *Genus ''Cardioderma'' * *Heart-nosed Bat, ''Cardioderma cor'' *Genus ''Lavia'' * *Yellow-winged Bat, ''Lavia frons'' *Genus ''Macroderma'' * *Ghost Bat, ''Macroderma gigas'' *Genus ''Megaderma'' * *Lesser False Vampire Bat, ''Megaderma spasma'' * *Greater False Vampire Bat, ''Megaderma lyra'' *Genus ''Eudiscoderma'' * * Thongaree’s Disc-nosed Bat, ''E. thongareeae'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Megadermatidae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
