It is found only in Madagascar. On the bases of the thumbs of the wings and on the soles of the hind limbs at the sucker, there are complex rosette suckers that are located directly on the skin (unlike suckers in sucker-footed bats). The biology and ecology of the sucker has not been practically studied. Most likely, he uses curled leathery palm leaves as shelters, to which he sticks with his suckers. All suckers were caught near the water.
