Triaenops persicus Dobson, 1871 |
The Persian Trident Bat or Triple Nose-leaf Bat (Triaenops persicus) is a species of bat found along the coasts of Iran, Oman, Aden, to East Africa.
Tourism development has disturbed the coral caves inhabited by these bats, and consequently the species is locally threatened.
