Eastern and southeastern Africa.
HABITAT
Edges of forest, woodlands, and savanna.
BEHAVIOR
Roosts in camps of 3-100 individuals. About 30 minutes before flight time there is intensive grooming. Little interaction is observed
among individuals outside the roosting time. Males hang on branches, evert their tufts, and make calls after leaving the day roost. This appears to have a territorial function to separate males. During the breeding season it probably serves to attract females.
FEEDING ECOLOGY AND DIET
Consume figs, guava, bananas, and nectar. Stomach contents of several individuals contained beetles suggesting some insectivory. These bats fly considerable distances from roosts to feeding areas.
REPRODUCTIVE Biology
Polygamous. Two breeding seasons a year. Gestation lasts 5-6 months. Single births are the norm.
