Khadjuria's Leaf-nosed Bat is a small bat that lives in caves of central India. It finds insects in the dark using echolocation and a special leaf on its nose.
This species differs from other leaf-nosed bats due to its unique nose leaf structure and small size. It is important for nature because it eats harmful insects and serves as part of the cave food chain.
