Wood's slit-faced bat is a small bat of southern African woodland savannas. Its fur ranges from gray to reddish brown, and it roosts by day in places such as hollow trees and caves.
Total length is 86–103 mm and ear length is 28–35 mm. The fluffy fur on the back varies from silver gray and gray to brown or reddish brown; the underside is paler and can be nearly white.
It occurs in semi-arid to moist woodland savannas and roosts in hollow trees, sandstone caves, rock fissures, mine adits, and buildings. It mainly catches moths, beetles, and flies; short, broad wings help it maneuver among obstacles.
