False vampire bat
A general term for aggressive, carnivorous mammals of the Megaderma genus of the Chiroptera family, Megasteridae. They are also called false vampirebats because of their resemblance to the lesser long-eared bat. There are two species in Southeast Asia. The Indian giant alaska bat ( M. lyra ) is found from Afghanistan to Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and southern China. It has a body length of 7.5-9 cm, a forearm length of 6.5-7.5 cm, and weighs around 40-60 g. Its ears are large and rounded at the tips, and the two ears join at the top of the head.
