Waterhouse's leaf-nosed bat happen in that last trimester. Like many bats, this species uses echolocation as a means to locate their prey. In particular, "Macrotus waterhousii" uses a low intensity, broadband-like call to aide in their search for food. The maximum frequency of a call is 73.65 kHz with a minimum of 46.19 kHz, creating a bandwidth of 27.46 kHz. The call ranges from about 1 second to 3 seconds.
