Bicolored roundleaf bat

Bicolored roundleaf bat is a nocturnal species that utilizes echolocation for hunting and navigation. Residing in large colonies, this bat exhibits social behavior and cooperativity. Known to roost in caves and tunnels, they exhibit site fidelity. Infraorders show unique traits; females tend to cluster, while males remain solitary. Marking territories is uncommon, due to the large, transient colonies. Bicolored roundleaf bat's behavior underlines adaptations for cave dwelling and nocturnal foraging.

As of 2008, it is evaluated as a least-concern species by the IUCN—its lowest conservation priority. It meets the criteria for this classification because it has a wide geographic range; its range includes protected areas; and it is considered locally common. Despite its wide geographic range, the bicolored leafnose bat is extremely sensitive to habitat loss via deforestation. Deforestation is rapidly growing due to increased demand for residential development and agricultural land for oil palm. Palm oil is derived from the oil palm and is used in detergent, lipstick and margarine. Palm oil is exported primarily by Malaysia and Indonesia producing 88 percent of the world's supply. WWF has led collaboration with other large retailers of palm oil to agree to only use land that has not been subjected to deforestation.
