Percival's trident bat

Percival's trident bat (Cloeotis percivali) is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae.

It has been reported from Botswana, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eswatini, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

Its natural habitats are savannas where there are suitable caves and mine tunnels that it can use for roosting.

Local numbers fluctuate greatly.

Colonies can disappear, perhaps because they move to another place or go extinct.
