Bats are among the most diverse and successful of all mammals. Taxonomically bats comprise the order Chiroptera, which means ‘hand-winged’. Chiroptera includes two extant clads, Megachiroptera (old world fruit bats) 167 species and Microchiroptera (echolocating bats) 834 species included in 17 families. Bats are unique among mammals as they are the only group to have evolved true powered flight. The bat, Hipposideros speoris (Schneider, 1800) belongs to the suborder Microchiroptera and the family Rhinolophidae. There are over nine hundred extant species of bats (Koopman, 1994).

Abstract


Bats are among the most diverse and successful of all mammals. Taxonomically bats comprise the order Chiroptera, which means ‘hand-winged’. Chiroptera includes two extant clads, Megachiroptera (old world fruit bats) 167 species and Microchiroptera (echolocating bats) 834 species included in 17 families. Bats are unique among mammals as they are the only group to have evolved true powered flight. The bat, Hipposideros speoris (Schneider, 1800) belongs to the suborder Microchiroptera and the family Rhinolophidae. There are over nine hundred extant species of bats (Koopman, 1994).
