The dorsal lingual surface of the Egyptian rousette bat was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Filiform, fungiform and vallate papillae were observed. The filiform papillae were distributed over the entire dorsal surface of the tongue. The filiform papillae notably differed in morphology by their location on the tongue and could be classified into 5 types: 1) scalelike, 2) small crown-like, 3) giant trifid, 4) large crown-like, 5) conical papillae. The fungiform papillae were present rounded bodies on the anterior 2/3 of the tongue. The Egyptian rousette bat showed the a triangular arrangement of the three vallate papillae, with the apex of the triangle directed posteriorly. These findings indicate that the tongue of the Egyptian rousette bat is similar to that of the large flying fox.
通过扫描电子显微镜对埃及果蝠的舌背表面进行了检查。观察到丝状乳头、菌状乳头和轮廓乳头。丝状乳头分布在整个舌背表面。丝状乳头根据其在舌上的位置在形态上有显著差异，可分为5种类型：1）鳞状，2）小冠状，3）巨大三叉状，4）大冠状，5）锥形乳头。菌状乳头呈圆形体，位于舌前部的2/3处。埃及果蝠的三个轮廓乳头呈三角形排列，三角形的顶点向后。这些发现表明埃及果蝠的舌头与大型狐蝠的舌头相似。
