#Honduran bat

I saw honduran bats drawn so many times, but somehow I only saw a photo of them last December. They look like ice cream when they sleep so I had to draw them as such 🍨

White honduran bats?

Fun facts: These bats build tents from understory plant leaves by cutting the leaf ribs with their teeth, and then use them as roosts. They have a tiny wingspan of ten centimeters!

Some possible sticker designs I'd like to order in if I ever have the money to. These would be really fun to sell I think, less on profit and more just sharing my work! Ngl, I'm not a huge fan of honduran bats and I kinda think they're overrated.

Yeah, they're cool, but there are so many other species that don't get enough recognition! Silver-haired bats! Bonneted bats! Proboscis bats???? Hello???

But, I am proud of these designs. If you wanna support my funds toward setting up the sticker shop you can order a commission from me or send a tip to my cashapp, $flittermousing <3

Animal of the Day!

Honduran White Bat (Ectophylla alba)

(Photo from WordPress)

Conservation Status- Near Threatened

Habitat- Southern Central America

Size (Weight/Length)- 4.5 cm

Diet- Fruit

Cool Facts- The leaf-cuddling Honduran white bat made quite the rounds on the internet due to their adorable sleeping arrangements. During the day, these bats group together in ‘tents’ made out of leaves by cutting them open in the midrib with their teeth. The tents are constructed by multiple bats and are lived in for multiple weeks until the leaf dies. Colonies usually consist of 1-15 individuals and their offspring. The leaves give further protection from predators by making the Honduran white bat’s fur appear green when sunlight casts onto the leaf. These bats feed almost exclusively on figs. The yellow carotenoids in the fruit result in the yellow coloration on the bat’s nose and ears, resulting in the Honduran white bat being one of the only mammals to have coloration based on their diet.

Rating- 14/10 (Baby bats are called pups. Bat puppies.)
