The heart-nosed bat (Cardioderma cor) is a species of bat in the family Megadermatidae. It is the only species within the genus Cardioderma.[2] It is found in eastern Sudan, north Tanzania, and south Zambia. In an experiment conducted in 2017, it was concluded that heart-nosed bats emit vocalizations or "sing" as a way to establish their foraging areas and actively defend these territories from other bats of the same species.
