Morphometric parameters of bats and observation in the wild were carried out with a view to determining the sexual differentiation in terms of morphometrics and the food preference of the straw coloured bats in the wild. Specimens were obtained using mist nets on a bi-weekly basis between the hours of 5.00 a.m. – 7.00 a.m. while observation for feeding habits was made daily between 5.00 am – 9.00 am and 5.00 pm – 9.00 pm. The mean weight recorded was 277.40 g ± 2.09. The mean wing length and breadth was 34.59 ± 0.36 cm and 14.89 ± 0.17 cm respectively. The wing span ranged from 66 cm to 83 cm and the total length of the bats ranged from 16 cm to 20 cm with the mean value at 17.68 ± 0.41. Bats were observed feeding on other parts of the trees including the leaves and the bark of some trees.
