We were up early and out birding around Huab before breakfast on August 15, 2012. I returned to the area where we'd seen Common Slit-faced Bats, Nycterus thebiaca, the previous morning to take a few more photos. The bats were on their night roost hanging from the rafters just outside the ladies room in the main reception/dining area. I was able to get a satisfactory close up of two bats. This common species is found throughout most of Africa. Upperparts are a light brown color, and underparts are a creamy white. Large, conspicuous ears are evident on this medium-sized bat which gets its name from the distinctive slit which runs down the center of its face from its eyes to its snout. Temperatures were in the low 50's on this cold and windy overcast morning (our last at Huab).
