The longevity of these bats is not known.
C. cor carries bacteria (Borrelia sp.) that can cause relapsing fever in humans (Csada, 1996).
The species is listed as a low threat but is vulnerable.
US Migratory Bird Act: no special status
US Federal List: no special status
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
Perception Channels: tactile ; chemical
C. cor helps to control insect populations that could otherwise damage crops (Csada, 1996).
Positive Impacts: controls pest population
Because of its feeding behavior, C. cor probably regulates insect populations, including crop pests.
C. cor is essentially an insectivore with variations in diet affected by the alternation of the wet and dry seasons in Africa. In the wet season, these bats feed primarily on terrestrial beetles of length greater than 25 mm, but will supplement their diet with locusts, katydids, moths, and small vertebrates such as bats and frogs. In the dry season these bats depend on terrestrial beetles from the families Scarabeidae, Tenebrionidae, and Carabidae, with centipedes and scorpions consumed sometimes. Although feeding primarily on terrestrial beetles, these bats will also take advantage of leaf gleaning for insects and "hawking" moths when these prey are in abundance (Vaughan, 1976).
Animal Foods: mammals; amphibians; insects
Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore )
Heart-nosed bats, Cardioderma cor, are found mainly in eastern Africa. The range of this species extends from eastern Sudan to the northern tip of Tanzania, and as far south as the southern tip of Zambia (Csada, 1996).
Biogeographic Regions: ethiopian (Native )
Typical habitats for C. cor include dry lowlands and coastal strip habitats, and they are sometimes found foraging in river valleys. They are not found at elevations greater than 940 m. C. cor roosts during the day in abandoned buildings, dry caves, or in the cavities of Baobab trees. They usually roost in large colonies and prefer not to share the roost with other species of bats (Vaughan, 1976).
Range elevation: 0 to 940 m.
Habitat Regions: tropical ; terrestrial
Terrestrial Biomes: scrub forest
C. cor is relatively large for a microchiropteran, with a mass of 21 to 35 g and a body length of 70 to 77 mm. The fur covering the body is blue-gray in color and is long and loose. This species lacks an external tail and the interfemoral membrane is well developed. The eyes of this bat are large. The ears are connected at the base. The leaf-like nose is heart-shaped, and has a tragus with a rounded inner lobe. Physically, C. cor can be distinguished from Lavia frons, the only other African megadermatid, by skull and tooth features. This species does not go through torpor and is homeothermic. The dental formula of C. cor is: i 0/2, c 1/1, p 1/2, m 3/3 = 26 (Csada, 1996).
Range mass: 21 to 35 g.
Range length: 70 to 77 mm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
There are no known predators of C. cor (Csada, 1996). However, it is likely that typical bat predators, such as snakes, small cat species, and owls prey on young and on bats emerging from roosts.
Mated pairs are monogamous and make an effort to retain the same mate during consecutive breeding seasons. Mated pairs have a territorial breeding site that is defended by the male, who sings from perches in the evening before foraging. These sites are typically established during the breeding season and break down afterward. (Vaughan, 1976).
Studies in Kenya have suggested that breeding territories and mated pairs may exist for an extended period of time (Nowak, 1999)
Mating System: monogamous
Most reproduction occurs in each of the two rainy seasons, March-June and October-December, although lactating females have been caught throughout the year. The reproductive season may be extended in some areas (Nowak, 1999).
Gestation lasts for approximately three months, after which the female gives birth to one hairless and blind pup. The mother carries the pup for two months (Csada, 1996). The young are probably weaned around three months of age (Nowak, 1999). After two months the young follow their mother while she forages, possibly allowing young bats to learn the foraging routine and territories.
Breeding season: Breeding occurs from March through June and again from October through December.
Range number of offspring: 1 (high) .
Average gestation period: 3 months.
Average weaning age: 3 months.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; seasonal breeding ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (Internal ); viviparous
As in all mammals, the female lactates, producing milk as food for her single offspring. She carries her young with her for two months, after which time the pup follows her on foraging trips (Csada, 1996). Male parental care is not known, although some might consider the maintenance of the breeding territory through song as a means by which the male provides the female and young with food resources.
Parental Investment: altricial ; female parental care

Die Herznasenfledermaus (Cardioderma cor) ist eine Fledermausart aus der Familie der Großblattnasen (Megadermatidae). Diese Tiere sind im östlichen Afrika (von Äthiopien über Kenia bis Tansania und Sambia) beheimatet.
Wie alle Großblattnasen ist die Herznasenfledermaus relativ groß, sie erreicht eine Kopfrumpflänge von sieben bis acht Zentimetern und ein Gewicht von 21 bis 35 Gramm.[1] Ein Sexualdimorphismus liegt bei der Art nicht vor, die Männchen und die Weibchen unterscheiden sich also nicht. Ihr langes Fell ist einheitlich blaugrau gefärbt, der Schwanz fehlt.[1]
Die Ohren sind mit einer Länge von 35 bis 39 Millimeter recht groß und berühren sich am Ansatz in der Kopfmitte. Auch die Augen sind verhältnismäßig groß. Ihren Namen verdanken die Tiere dem herzförmigen und oben gerundeten Nasenblatt, das im Vergleich zu dem anderer Arten klein ist.[1]
Die Herznasenfledermaus ist über einen weiten Bereich im östlichen Afrika vom Nordosten des Sudan nahe dem Roten Meeres bis nach Zentral-Tansania im Süden und von der Grenzregion des Sudan und Uganda bis in den Osten Somalias verbreitet. Das Verbreitungsgebiet umfasst dabei zudem Teile von Kenia, Dschibuti, Äthiopien, Eritrea und Südsudan.[2]
Lebensraum dieser Tiere sind niedrig gelegene Trockenländer und Küstenstreifen. Tagsüber schlafen sie in Gruppen von bis zu 80 Tieren in hohlen Affenbrotbäumen, Felsspalten oder verlassenen Gebäuden. Am Abend begeben sie sich auf Nahrungssuche, dazu hängen sie sich an Äste und lauern auf Beute. Jedes Tier hat sein eigenes Jagdrevier, das mit zwitschernden Lauten markiert wird. Haben sie ein Beutetier ausfindig gemacht, stürzen sie auf den Boden, fangen es und fliegen wieder zu ihrem Baum zurück, wo sie es verzehren. Ihre Nahrung besteht aus Käfern, Hundertfüßern, Skorpionen, aber auch Fröschen und manchmal kleineren Fledermäusen.[1]
Herznasenfledermäuse dürften in monogamen Beziehungen leben, was für Fledermäuse ungewöhnlich ist. Zweimal im Jahr, während der Regenzeiten (März–April und Oktober–November) bringt das Weibchen nach rund dreimonatiger Tragzeit ein einzelnes Jungtier zur Welt. Dieses begleitet die Mutter ab dem zweiten Lebensmonat auf die Jagd und wird mit rund drei Monaten endgültig entwöhnt. Die Lebenserwartung ist nicht bekannt.[1]
Die Erstbeschreibung der Herznasenfledermaus stammt von dem deutschen Naturforscher Wilhelm Peters als Megaderma cor aus dem Jahr 1872, der ein Jahr später auch die monotypische Gattung Cardioderma mit dieser Art als Typusart beschrieb.[1] Sie wird als eigenständige Art und Gattung den Großblattnasen (Megadermatidae) zugeordnet. Unterarten werden nicht unterschieden.[3]
Der Gattungsname Cardioderma leitet sich von den lateinischen Bezeichnungen cardio für „Herz“ und derma für „Haut“ ab.[1]
Die Art wird von der International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) aufgrund ihres sehr großen Verbreitungsgebietes und der großen Population als nicht gefährdet (least concern) eingestuft. Ein Rückgang der Populationen wird zudem nicht angenommen.[2]

The heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor) is a species of bat in the family Megadermatidae. It is the only species within the genus Cardioderma.[2] It is found in eastern Sudan, north Tanzania, and south Zambia. In an experiment conducted in 2017, it was concluded that heart-nosed bats emit vocalizations or "sing" as a way to establish their foraging areas and actively defend these territories from other bats of the same species.
The heart-nosed bat typically occupies areas that are in dry lowlands, coastal strips, and river valleys.[3] Places of interest that the bats tend to gather in the daylight hours are abandoned buildings, dry caves, or baobab trees. They are also found living no higher than 940 meters or 3094 feet in elevation. Heart-nosed bats live in large colonies together, but they are very territorial and do not mingle with other bat species.[3]
Heart-nosed bats weigh 21–35 g (0.74–1.23 oz) and are 70–77 mm (2.8–3.0 in) in length. Heart-nosed bats have blueish/grayish fur. Their fur also hangs off of their body and is considered to be long and loose.[3] These bats have no tails, unlike most other species of bats. Some of the most recognizable features of this species is its teeth and skull, as well as its heart-shaped nose.[3]
Heart-nosed bats are monogamous. If possible, mates will stay together during multiple mating seasons. Breeding sites are extremely territorial and are typically protected by the males. These sites are set up during the breeding season itself and afterwards it will be taken down. A new breeding site will be found for the next mating season.[3] The female period of gestation is three months. Baby bats are referred to as pups. Heart-nosed bats can only have one pup at a time. Females, like all mammals, feed their young via lactation. Females will carry their newborns until two months of age. After the third month, the pup is weaned from its mother and will then follow the mother around. The pup learns from its mother about foraging and territories that will allow them to be successful later in their life.[3] The father's parental behavior is mostly unknown, but it is thought that the songs and territorial protection is protection of the mother and their young. The prime reproduction months happen between March and June and then again between October and December. These months are in the rainy season months and make the best mating months for heart-nosed bats.[3]
Heart-nosed bats are nocturnal. Depending on when the sun sets, they will wake up and start making their way to their feeding zones. They will typically do this a couple minutes before the sun actually sets.[3] These bats have a strategy called "hawking" that allows them to collect bugs. They also use a "sit-and-wait" strategy. The sit-and-wait strategy involves hanging from a perch and waiting until an insect comes along to be preyed upon. The sit-and-wait strategy is usually used during the dry season. Hawking is usually used when the wet seasons are happening.[3] During the dry season, the heart-nosed bats diet primarily consists of terrestrial beetles and leaf gleaning. The most common beetles that are fed on are the Scarabeidae, Tenebrionidae, and the Carabidae. During the wet season, the heart-nosed bat's diet primarily consists of large terrestrial beetles, locusts, katydids, moths, small bats, and frogs.[3] These bats mainly stick to themselves and do not mingle with other species. The cause of this is unknown. There are no known predators that actively seek out heart-nosed bats. However, common predators such as snakes, cats, and owls will prey on the young pups if the opportunity arises.[3] Heart-nosed bats also take time out of the day to groom themselves and others. It is unknown if this helps increase the social bond between the bats as it would in other species.[3]
Heart-nosed bats are extremely beneficial for the ecosystem and environment. They primarily feed on bugs, which allows for insect and pest regulations. Crops that could be easily damaged by pests will be taken care of by the bats. Insect populations that are growing too quickly will also be taken care of.[3] While they are mostly beneficial, there is one negative aspect to the heart-nosed bats in the ecosystem. The heart-nosed bat is a carrier of Borrelia. Borrelia is a bacterium that can cause Lyme disease. This can be transferred to humans, and be given a fever along with the illness.[4]
Heart-nosed bats are one of the first bat species to be heard singing, or vocalizing. Many behaviors of this bat are still unknown but it was found with studies that the heart-nosed bats will cluster together in the daylight hours but then go their separate ways during the night hours. The night hours are when the singing takes place.[5] It was observed that there are two known songs. The more common of the two songs is referred to as a loud song. The less common of the two songs is referred to as a soft song. The soft song is sung more during the dry season than the loud song.[5] Each bat has their own variation of both songs, especially the soft song. While these songs were being observed, although each of them varied, all the songs had a similar pattern to them. It was clear which song was being sung. One theory to the heart-nosed bats singing and songs are linked to how territorial they are. Another theory is the singing corresponds to social interactions between each beat, which is why the songs themselves are unique to the individual.[5]
The heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor) is a species of bat in the family Megadermatidae. It is the only species within the genus Cardioderma. It is found in eastern Sudan, north Tanzania, and south Zambia.

Il pipistrello dal naso a cuore (Cardioderma cor Peters, 1872) è un pipistrello della famiglia dei Megadermatidi, unica specie del genere Cardioderma (Peters, 1873), diffuso nell'Africa orientale.[1][2]
Pipistrello di medio-piccole dimensioni, con la lunghezza della testa e del corpo tra 66 e 85 mm, la lunghezza dell'avambraccio tra 50 e 58 mm, la lunghezza del piede tra 14 e 19 mm, la lunghezza delle orecchie tra 30 e 41 mm e un peso fino a 32 g.[3]
Il cranio è simile a quello del genere Lavia ma con la concavità frontale più lunga e profonda. Il primo premolare superiore è mancante.
Sono caratterizzati dalla seguente formula dentaria:
3 1 1 0 0 1 1 3 3 2 1 2 2 1 2 3 Totale: 26 1.Incisivi; 2.Canini; 3.Premolari; 4.Molari;La pelliccia è lunga ed arruffata. Il colore generale del corpo è grigio-bluastro, leggermente più chiaro nelle parti ventrali. Il muso è corto e largo, gli occhi sono grandi. La foglia nasale ha un lobo anteriore piccolo a forma di cuore, la lancetta è corta, eretta, con l'estremità arrotondata e con i margini convessi. Le orecchie sono marroni chiare, lunghe ed erette, unite lungo il margine interno per circa la metà della loro lunghezza. Il trago è bifido, con il lobo anteriore affusolato mentre quello posteriore più corto, quadrato o rotondo. Le ali sono molto larghe, bruno-grigiastre e semi-trasparenti, con le membrane che ricoprono l'avambraccio e le dita biancastre. È privo di coda, mentre l'uropatagio ed il calcar sono ben sviluppati. Non è presente dimorfismo sessuale.
Emette ultrasuoni sotto forma di impulsi di bassa intensità, breve durata, a banda larga con frequenza massima tra 42 kHz e 56,7±11 kHz e con almeno quattro armoniche.
Si rifugia solitariamente od in piccoli gruppi fino ad 80 individui nelle cavità degli alberi come il baobab, ma anche in case abbandonate e in grotte. Abbandona i siti poco prima il tramonto e percorre meno di un chilometro per raggiungere i luoghi dove cacciare. Sono stati riscontrati due differenti tipi di vocalizzazione udibile anche dall'Uomo. Il primo, un richiamo per marcare i territori di predazione, consiste di 4-9 impulsi a circa 12 kHz. Il secondo, utilizzato come richiamo in volo, consiste in 3-10 impulsi più distanti uno dall'altro rispetto al richiamo territoriale, ma anch'essi emessi ad una frequenza di 12 kHz.
Si nutre di scarafaggi, centopiedi, scorpioni catturati al suolo dopo appostamenti nella vegetazione. Di solito i territori di caccia sono esclusivi di singole coppie. Solitamente l'ecolocazione non è utilizzata per individuare le prede.
È una specie monogama. Le femmine partoriscono un piccolo per 2 volte l'anno durante le stagioni delle piogge, in marzo o nei primi di aprile e a novembre. La gestazione dura circa 3 mesi. In Tanzania gli accoppiamenti avvengono in settembre e ottobre, le nascite nei primi di gennaio mentre lo svezzamento inizia a fine marzo. Raggiungono la maturità sessuale dopo 16 mesi.
Questa specie è diffusa nel Sudan sud-orientale, Eritrea, Gibuti, Etiopia centrale ed orientale, Somalia, Kenya, Sudan del Sud sud-orientale, Uganda nord-orientale, Tanzania centro-settentrionale e Zanzibar.
Vive nelle savane, boscaglie e nelle valli fluviali fino a 940 metri di altitudine.
Resti di una forma di Cardioderma sono stati rinvenuti in depositi datati primo Pleistocene presso le gole di Olduvai, in Tanzania.
La IUCN Red List, considerato il vasto areale e la popolazione numerosa, classifica C.cor come specie a rischio minimo (LC).[1]
