Honduran White Bat

The Honduran white bat constructs tents out of understory plant leaves by strategically cutting the leaf ribs with its teeth. During the day, it lives in these ‘leaf tents’.

Because of habitat loss, it is listed as near-threatened by the IUCN. (International Union for Conservation of Nature)
Authors suggest that the colour difference of male and female nose leaves is indicative of sexual dichromatism, meaning that females would rather pick males with brighter nose leaves. This conclusion was supported by the trend that males with brighter yellow nose-leaves tended to have better body conditions. Females could thus use nose-leaf colour as a metric of male fitness when selecting a mate.

Day 22.

I should do furry commissions again.
