More bats!


Wow, there are tent-making bats all over this forest! Today I saw another tent made in a Heliconia leaf, but this time the bats inside were from the genus Artibeus. These guys are frugivorous (i.e. they eat fruit) and were in a tent very similar to the Ectophylla tent I saw yesterday, only a little bigger. There are 5 batties in there!
