Fish-eating bat | Myotis vivesi

For the second day of Bat Week, I bring you the second bat that fishes in marine waters! Living in the Gulf of California, this species inhabits islands and rocky coasts, and alongside caves and crevices, they've been found sheltering under sea turtle shells as well!

Their favored diet is crustaceans (such as squat lobsters), marine fish, and flying insects! They've also been observed to have a symbiotic relationship with petrels nesting in the area, as they'll fend off lizards that attempt to eat their eggs.
