Hipposideros Armiger
pen & ink on A6 paper

Hipposideros armiger is widespread throughout Asia, including north-eastern India and Nepal through Myanmar to southern China, Thailand and Malaysia west to Vietnam. It appears relatively common in Vietnam, although some researchers consider it an obligate cave-dwelling species and therefore largely confined to karst areas. This notion is challenged by its capture in non-karst forest areas where no caves exist, although as one of the largest and robustly built leaf-nosed bats in Indochina it is likely capable of travelling long distances in a single night.
