COASTAL SHEATHTAIL BAT

Taphozous australis

Conservation Status:
Queensland State: Vulnerable
Species and status overview
Occupying sea caves, boulder piles, rock fissures and buildings (usually within a few metres of high tide), the Coastal sheathtail-bat is thought to be threatened by habitat alteration particularly from coastal development. Roost site disturbance from human visitation is also a known threat at some sites, in some cases the loss is estimated to be up to 50%.
