Bat of the Day

Bat Common Name: Striped yellow eared bat

Bat Scientific Name: Vampyriscus nymphaea

Suborder: Yangochiroptera (Microbat)

Family: Phyllostomidae

Subfamily: Stenodermatinae

Genus: Vampyriscus

Diet: Frugivore

Description: Body length of 47-70 mm, weighing around 10-13 g

Location: Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, Colombia, and Honduras

Fun Facts: They enjoy neotropical environments! They have a pale middle band of fur! They also have a white stripe down their back, the edges of their ear pinnae are outlined in bright yellow (giving them their common name!!) They also eat insects and small vertebrates, they mainly eat figs though! They're tent making bats! They also roost in small groups of 2-7 bats, normally it's also a harem! They seem to be an under-researched bat species because it was mildly difficult to find out information about them!!

*though this is described as a kit fox by common name, the scientific name listed was Vulpes velox- the swift fox!

mammalianmammals

Jaguarundis (Herpailurus yagouaroundi), family Felidae, found widely across the Americas, from far South TX and SE Arizona, through Mexico, Central America, and much of South America

This cat is very secretive and elusive, and rarely seen.

While working in Ecuador, with the Quichua people, I was told that they use magical portals at the base of Kapok trees to travel from one tree to another... or to the other side.

A Canada lynx leads her kittens out of a northern Ontario forest during a heavy snowfall. Lynx have large, snowshoe-like paws that allow them to move quickly and silently through deep snow.
