Sanguivorus volans, commonly known as Golbat, is a nocturnal bat-like species that exhibits specialized feeding behavior through hematophagy, primarily preying on the blood of mammals. Its elongated, hollow fangs function like straws, enabling it to extract over 300 milliliters of blood in a single feeding. Adapted for stealth, Golbat relies on echolocation to navigate dark environments and locate unsuspecting prey, often striking from behind. Its lightweight body structure, combined with a highly vascularized wing membrane, aids in thermoregulation during flight, although excessive feeding can hinder its aerial agility. Golbat typically resides in temperate forests and caves, where it roosts in colonies and forages during moonless nights. This species plays a significant role in the ecosystem as both a predator of larger mammals and a potential prey for larger nocturnal hunters, contributing to the complex food web of its habitat.
