Cyclops roundleaf bat
The cyclops roundleaf bat, or cyclops leaf-nosed bat (''Hipposideros cyclops''), is a species of bat in the family Hipposideridae found in the forests of equatorial Africa.
==Description==
Cyclops roundleaf bats are relatively small, with adults ranging from in total length, including a tail approximately long. With an average weight of , females are significantly larger than males at just . The body is covered in thick woolly fur, which is a dark brown in colour, grizzled with lighter flecks on the tips of the hairs. The wings are very dark brown, almost black, in colour.
The ears are long and narrowly pointed. The nose-leaf has a distinctive shape, with a rounded horseshoe shape over the muzzle and a posterior leaf with two projections on each side. Both parts of the leaf also possess small club-like structures projecting from their mid-line. The "cyclops" part of the bat's name comes from the presence of a narrow circular opening in the centre of the forehead, just behind, and normally hidden by, the nose-leaf. This opening leads to a small glandular sac lined with white hairs, which produces a waxy substance of unknown function.〔
Males possess scent gland on the perineum, producing a clear fluid with a musky smell. Females have two true nipples on the chest, and an additional, non-functional, pair on the abdomen, providing additional support for the young.〔
