The greater Asiatic yellow bat (Scotophilus heathii) is a species of vesper bat.[2] It is found in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Vietnam.[1]
Like many bats, females have delayed ovulation, with the ability to store sperm. This makes them particularly of interest to biologists.[citation needed] Studies have shown that seasonal changes in hormones allow them to deposit fat before the onset of winter.[3]
It is named after Josiah Marshall Heath, who presented the type specimen to the Zoological Society of London.[4]
