All Oriental records of terrestrial vertebrate prey refer to the widespread false vampire bat Megaderma lyra (40–60 g) ( Megadermatidae ). In addition to large invertebrates, this species consumes fish, frogs, lizards, small birds (including Zosterops , Nectarinia , Hirundo and Passer ), rodents, shrews and other bats (Lekagul & McNeely, 1988; Audet et al., 1991; Bates & Harrison, 1997; Nowak, 1999; Ramanujam & Verzhutskii, 2004b).
