Lesser Long-nosed Bats seem to be polygynous. Females carry one embryo. There are two spatiotemporally segregated birth peaks: non-migratory females give birth to young in winter in dry forests ofwestern and southern

. Reproductive males smear their backs with feces, urine,saliva, and other products or metabolic byproducts. Resulting sebaceous, odiferous patch is very attractive to females and causes males with a more symmetrical patch to have fewer ectoparasites and presumably greater reproductive success than those with less symmetrical patches. Females move young to nurseries in the same cave before leaving to forage at night.

Lesser Long-nosed Bats tend to leave their roosts c.1 hour after dusk. They fly long distances to foraging areas and remain active for an average of 6-6 hours/night, longer than other bats such as foliage gleaners: Fish-eating
