Fringed fruit-eating bats inhabit regions with tropical climates and thrive in areas with little rainfall and sunny days. This species is dependent on abiotic factors in the wild.[3] It is found in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay.[1]
Their reproduction process is dependent on both the time of day and climatic factors. The process begins in warmer seasons with longer hours of daylight.[4]
For scavenging, they mainly feed on fruits and seeds, but predominantly eat ficus and leafy bushes.[5]
While not currently threatened with extinction, changes to the forests and forest community may lead to a steadily decline in the bat population.[6]
