When People Think Of Bats,

bloodsucking Vampire bats will be fairly high on the list,

 or the ones that live in caves, that produce so much waste, the air is almost toxic for humans with the amount of ammonia in it, photograph Leyo/Wikimedia Commons, but here is a totally different bat from the normal stereotype, which can be found in the tropical forests of Central-American countries like Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and western parts of Panama, called the the Honduran White Bat, (Ectophylla alba), or the Caribbean White Tent-Making Bat, with an average length of 3.7 - 4.7 cm it is tiny, and so cute, this tent-making bat gets its name from their intriguing ability to turn the large leaves of the heliconia plant into temporary colonies, the Honduran white bat is one of only two small species of bats that feed exclusively on fruits. It particularly prefers a single variety of fig and actually builds its roosts to be close to this food source, white bat colonies, known as clouds, usually consist of one male and several females, females can become pregnant twice per year, giving birth to one offspring at a time, you have to admit, they do look really cute!
