, Lesser Bulldog Bats commute among forest islands across tropical grasslands and use hollow trees of at least eleven species; roosting trees have greater diameters than non-roosting trees.

Diet of the Lesser Bulldog Bat is strongly dominated by insects, primarily hemipterans, beetles, moths, homopterans, and dipterans. According to all published studies, Lesser Bulldog Bats feed copiously on insects, but other studies also show that they eatfruits of species of

and occasionally fish. Pollen of various tree species has also been reported in stomach contents or fecal pellets. Given that they often fly in open areas, they are believed to be good seed dispersers. One study found many remains of dytiscid beetles, a primarily aquatic species, in the diet, and a pimelodid catfish swallowed a Lesser Bulldog Bat, both suggesting association with aquatic environments. Lesser Bulldog Bats have been observed scooping insect prey from the water surface. Observations in the wild show that they fly in open areas including along slow-flowing streams and rivers, lakes, and estuaries, briefly dipping or dragging their feet or interfemoral membrane in the water to scoop up insects. They spend an average of ¢.120 minutes outside of the roost, most of that time foraging.

. Captive juvenile Lesser Bulldog Bats did not fly until 5-6 weeks old and nursed until ¢.3 months old. Lactating females suckled only their young, which they appeared to recognize from acoustic cues emitted by their young. Mother and young call in coordinated duets in the roost and while flying and foraging together. Males have two ancillary skin sacks in the genital area that might have hormonal or glandular function.

Lesser Bulldog Bats leave their roost quite early, right after sunset, in contrast with their larger congener, the Greater Bulldog Bat that leaves the roost up to two hours after sunset. This difference has been suggested to be a mechanism to avoid competition between congeners. Lesser Bulldog Bats stay active usually between sunset and 1-2 hours after sunset and then return to their roost, with a second peak of activity around midnight.

Some studies indicate that Lesser Bulldog Bats might be philopatric and very loyal to a particular roost. Social organization seems to be harem-based, with up to ten females per male and several harems inhabiting any particular roost. There is an instance of predation by the great rufous woodcreeper (Xiphocolaptes major)—a bird that is known to capture prey and nest inside hollow trees.
