They are polygynous and 6–10 males and 10–15 females usually share palm-frond tents during the breeding season. [3]

A new clade consisting solely of African fruit bats is supported by phylogenetic analysis, which will consist of 12 genera currently placed in several different subfamilies. [7] Conversely, there may have been at least three separate colonization events of Africa by fruit bats. [8] There is also controversy regarding the Southeast Asian fruit ...

To meet basic nutritional requirements, leaf-nosed bats that primarily feed on fruit and nectar must also consume insects to ensure sufficient protein and fat intake [19] and visit salt licks to acquire sodium and other nutrients. [20] [21] Most leaf-nosed bats are classified as insectivores and feed on a variety of small insects.
