Annual cycle of urine output of the greater Indian false vampire bat, Megaderma lyra

Abstract

Individuals of the Indian False Vampire Bat, Megaderma Iyra, were maintained in captive conditions to study daily urine output for more than two years. Urine was collected and quantified by placing sheets of absorbant paper on the floor of cages beneath the roosting bats. Seasonality in the urine output is reported. © ZOO.
