The Angolan fruit bat , Angolan rousette or silky bat (Myonycteris angolensis megabat in the family Pteropodidae . It is found in Angola , Burundi , Cameroon , Central African Republic , Republic of Congo , Democratic Republic of Congo , Kenya , Nigeria , Rwanda , Sudan , Tanzania , Uganda , and Zambia . Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest , moist savanna , and rocky areas.
Taxonomy and etymology [ edit ]
It was described in 1898 by Portuguese zoologist José Vicente Barbosa du Bocage .
Bocage initially placed it in the now-defunct genus Cynonycteris , with a binomial of C. angolensis .[2] species name "angolensis Latin for "Angolan," likely in reference to the fact that the holotype was collected near Pungo Andongo in Angola .
Description [ edit ]
Its forearm length is 68–90 mm (2.7–3.5 in ) and it weighs 60–87 g (2.1–3.1 oz ).[3]
Biology and ecology [ edit ]
It is frugivorous . Consumed fruits include fruits of various trees, including fig trees , Anthocleista Milicia excelsa Adenia [3]
Range and habitat [ edit ]
The Angolan rousette has a wide range encompassing parts of West , East , and Central Africa . It is found from sea level to 4,000 m (13,000 ft ) above sea level.[1]
Conservation [ edit ]
As of 2017, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN . It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a wide geographic range; its population is presumably large; its range includes protected areas ; it is not likely to be in rapid population decline; and it tolerates a degree of anthropogenic habitat disturbance.[1]
