Little is known of the genetics of the ghost bat.

Ghost bats have large ears for long distance hearing, and very sharp teeth so they can attack prey.

Although the range of the species has drastically decreased, it is estimated that several thousand ghost bats remain in existence today.

They are generally brown or grey, although the ghost bats (genus Diclidurus) are white.

Diclidurus is a genus of bats whose common name is the ghost bats.

Buildings may be used as feeding grounds, but the ghost bat only roosts in caves, rock crevices, or mines.

It is also one of the few places in Australia supporting a colony of the endangered Ghost Bat.

Although the ghost bat has astoundingly good vision for a microchiropteran, echolocation is utilised to directly locate approaching prey.

The lesser ghost bat, Diclidurus scutatus, is a bat species from South America.

This bat, along with the "ghost bat" is one of the only two currently known species of bat that is white.

The ghost bat gets its common name from its distinct colouring: the predominate shade of fur is a whitish pale grey.

Most of these bats, such as ghost bats, catch their meals while flying; the proboscis bat, on the other hand, catches its prey above water surfaces.

Ghost bats have grey fur on their backs and pale grey or white fur on their undersides.

The ghost bat (Macroderma gigas), also known as the false vampire bat is a bat native to Australia.

The caves near Tolmer Falls are home to a colony of the rare Orange leaf-nosed bat and the Ghost bat.

Spectacled Hare-wallabies, Ghost Bats and Orange Leaf-nosed Bats are likely to occur.

The bottom of the falls is home to several colonies of rare Ghost Bats and Orange Horseshoe Bats.

The ghost bat is carnivorous and commonly feeds on small mice, other bats, small birds, legless lizards, geckos, snakes, and insects.

The ghost bat was once widely distributed throughout Australia, but over the past 10 years, researchers have failed to find evidence of the species in areas it had once inhabited.

Although ghost bats prefer to roost in colonies they currently only roost in small groups at best; this is due to a lack of roosting sites that support larger colonies.

The ghost bat is endemic to the Northern Pilbara and Kimberley in Western Australia, the top end of the Northern Territory, and scattered throughout Queensland.

At least two species of bat are known to feed on other bats: the spectral bat, also known as the American false vampire bat, and the ghost bat of Australia.

The Northern Ghost Bat or Jumby Bat, Diclidurus albus, is a bat species from South America, Trinidad, and Central America.
