Image of Common Tent-making Bat

Description:

"The Common Tent-Making Bat (Uroderma bilobatum) is known for its ability to modify the large leaves of several species of canopy and understory trees, including palms, heliconias and anthuriums into ""tents"" that the bats use to safely roost during the daylight hours. Tent bats are fruit eaters, and important dispersers of fig seeds in the forests of Trinidad. Photo: Stephen Davison (Trinibats)"
