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.
Syconycteris Syconycteris is also capable of echolocation. The Etolo tribe of New Guinea will sometimes include Syconycteris bats in their diet, along with other bats. Syconycteris is unique among Pteropid bats because they do not produce spats. Spats are created by slow feeding bats that chew and swallow the juices of their food while pressing the pulp and seeds into a spat or wadge which is then spit out. This makes them more effective seed dispersers because seeds in spats tend to travel less distance and are more vulnerable to fungi compared to seeds that are defacated like those eaten by
