About The Commerson's Leaf-nosed Bat

This species is endemic to the island of Madagascar (Peterson et al. 1995), where it is widespread (Ranivo and Goodman 2006). It is not thought to be common on the central plateau of the eastern humid forest (Russ et al. 2003), but is common along the west coast (Goodman et al. 2005) and occurs between sea-level and 1,300 m above sea-level.
