    The Chapin’s Free-Tailed Bat comes from Africa. The males have a two-colored crest on their heads. Surprisingly, the females don’t.  Underneath the crest is a specialized scent gland that is used to attract a mate. To us humans, it's no perfume, but these bats love it. Unfortunately, there is not very much information on this type of bat.
