Madagascan rousette of the genus "Rousettus", these bats reside within cave roosts, suggesting the use of echolocation. These bats are a part of a larger group of fruit bats within "Rousettus" which consists of 10 different species. The Madagascan rousette primarily resides on western Indian Ocean islands. The habitat of the Madagascan rousette is generally found to be associated with forests. They will roost well beyond the time of twilight. Many roosts have been found within caves however some bats have been found without a known cave roost, suggesting that the Madagascan rousette may sometimes roost within tree holes or other alternatives.
Animal echolocation transition (14 Ma), with the divergence of odontocetes and mysticetes occurring with the former, and the speciation of delphinioidae with the latter. There is a strong connection between these proteins, the ocean restructuring events, and the echolocation evolution. One specific type of echolocation, narrow-band high frequency (NBHF) clicks, evolved at least four times in groups of odontocetes, including the pygmy sperm whale (Kogiidae) and porpoise (Phocoenidae) families, "Pontoporia blainvillei", the genus "Cephalorhynchus", and part of the genus "Lagenorhynchus". These high frequency clicks likely evolved as adaptation of predator avoidance, as they inhabit areas that have many killer whales and the
