The tomb sac-winged bat is a medium-sized bat from Africa. It often lives in caves, ancient tombs, and old buildings, where it rests in groups during the day.
The tomb sac-winged bat is distinguished from related species by holes in its tail membrane. It is beneficial to nature because it eats many insects every evening and helps control their population.
