Honduran white bat
The Honduran white bat (Ectophylla alba) is a small bat species native to the tropical rainforests of Central America. It is easily recognizable by its striking white fur and distinctive yellow nose. These bats typically roost under the leaves of banana plants, where their coloration helps them blend in with the surrounding foliage.
Honduran white bats primarily feed on fruit, particularly figs. They play an important role in their ecosystem by aiding in seed dispersal. This species is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and deforestation, making conservation efforts essential for its survival.
