The hairless bat (Cheiromeles torquatus), also called the naked bulldog bat and greater naked bat, is a species of bat in the family Molossidae. Often recognized as bulldog bat for its appearance similar to bulldogs. The genus 'Cheiromeles' comes from greek word cheir (Greek for hand) and Species name is derived from Latin torques (latin for collar). This bat is a hawking insectivore, using echolocation to find insects on the wing. The hairless bat is mostly hairless, but does have short, bristly hairs around its neck, on its front toes, and around the throat sac, along with fine hairs on the head and tail membrane.
