The dwarf dog-faced bat is an insectivore, catching insects mid-flight. It is relatively slow for a free-tailed bat, which are generally adapted for high speeds, and has flight characteristics more similar to a vesper bat. Its predicted flight speed is 6.3 m/s (23 km/h; 14 mph).
The subfamily Cynopterinae ("flying dogs") comprises 24 species of pteropodid bats distributed exclusively in South and Southeast Asia. [1] The subfamily contains the following genera: Aethalops – pygmy fruit bats; Alionycteris; Balionycteris; Chironax; Cynopterus – dog-faced fruit bats, flying dogs or short-nosed fruit bats; Dyacopterus ...
Cynopterus (Latin meaning: ״flying dog״) is a genus of megabats. The cynopterine section is represented by 11 genera, [2] five of which occur in Malaysia, namely, Chironax, Balionycteris, Penthetor, Dyacopterus, and Cynopterus. About 30 names for Cynopterus species have been proposed, but only 16 are taxonomically valid forms. [3]
A bat wing, which is a highly modified forelimb. Bats are the only mammal capable of true flight. Bats use flight for capturing prey, breeding, avoiding predators, and long-distance migration. Bat wing morphology is often highly specialized to the needs of the species. This image is displaying the anatomical makeup of a specific bat wing.
Molossops (meaning: false molossus bat) is a genus of bat in the family Molossidae. [1] The four member species are found in nearly every country of South America, with the dwarf dog-faced bat being found in the most countries. It contains only two species: Rufous dog-faced bat (Molossops neglectus) Dwarf dog-faced bat (Molossops temminckii)
Pteropus (suborder Yinpterochiroptera) is a genus of megabats which are among the largest bats in the world. They are commonly known as fruit bats or flying foxes, among other colloquial names. They live in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, East Africa, and some oceanic islands in the Indian and Pacific Oceans. [3]
Little free-tailed bats can fly fast in open areas where they typically inhabit. [4] They have strong, elastic, and leathery flight membrane with high aspect ratio (wing length to width) of long and narrow wings, which are suited for fast and long distance flight but low maneuverability.
Cynomops is a genus of Central and South American dog-faced bats in the family Molossidae. [1] It has sometimes been considered a subgenus of Molossops. It contains the following species: Cinnamon dog-faced bat (C. abrasus) Freeman's dog-faced bat (C. freemani) Greenhall's dog-faced bat (C. greenhalli) Cynomops kuizha [2] Cynomops mastivus (C ...
