Wrinkle-lipped bat

Wrinkle-lipped bat is a nocturnal, insectivorous flier. Its navigational skills and echolocation abilities enable efficient foraging during the night. Preference for aerial insects influences hunting habits, which it performs solo. This species flies high and far from roosting sites, showcasing strong territorial tendencies. Its social dynamic involves roosting in large colonies, suggesting a degree of cohabitation and shared defense.

As of 2014, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN—its lowest conservation priority. It met the criteria for this classification because it has a wide geographic range; its range includes protected areas, its population size is large; and it is unlikely to be experiencing rapid population decline. However, some local populations may be threatened by overharvesting for bushmeat, habitat loss via deforestation, cave disturbance, and persecution of its roosts due to the perception that it is a pest. Examples of such human interference include in northern Myanmar as a result of limestone extraction for cement manufacture and colony of hundreds of thousands of bats eradicated "as pests" in Phnom Pehn.
