Is it true that menstruation occurs in only a few mammal groups, including humans, other primates, some bats and elephant shrews?
Yes. A reference article on menstruation in mammals states that beyond primates it is known only in bats, the elephant shrew, and the spiny mouse, matching the claim's list of groups. Other sources confirm menstruation in humans and other primates but do not address bats or elephant shrews.
