| Abstract: | Twelve individuals of fruit bats belonging to four species, Eidolon helvum, Rousettus aegyptiacus, Epomophorus gambianus, and Micropteropus pusillus, were captured during three nights using ornithological mist nets. The fruit bats were caught when foraging in the garden of the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Dakar (Senegal), where they fed on ripe fruits of the neem trees (Azadirachta indica). |
