Angolan Epauletted Fruit Bat

The Angolan epauletted fruit bat (Epomophorus angolensis) is a species of megabat in the family Pteropodidae. It is found in Angola and Namibia. Its natural habitat is savanna.

Taxonomy and etymology

It was described as a new species in 1870 by British zoologist John Edward Gray.[1] Gray described it as a "variety" of Epomophorus macrocephalus,[1] which has since been synonymized with the Angolan epauletted fruit bat.[2] Its species name "angolensis" is Latin for "Angolan."

Range and status

It is found only in Angola and Namibia. It is generally found in low-lying areas, though its range may include some montane habitats as well.[3] As of 2016, it was evaluated as a near-threatened species by the IUCN.[3]
