Due to their high wing-aspect ratio, these bats can fly at quick burst speeds for long distances, although their long wingspan inhibits them from having great agility. They are also sufficient climbers. It is believed that they climb high to the top of their roost in order to quickly fly away from

The lesser naked-backed bat (also known as Davy's naked-backed bat) earns its name from the appearance of its backside. The bat species appears to have a hairless or "naked" back due to the attachment of its wings on the mid-line of its dorsal surface. The wing membranes give the bat's back its

Microchiroptera, allowing these bats to fly long distances at fast speeds. The lips of these bats are large, perhaps allowing for focusing of the soundwaves that are emitted from their pharynx during echolocation.
