Honduran White Bat - Tent Bat

The Honduran White Bats also known as tent-making bats are a very rare sight indeed. Besides Honduras, they also live in other Central American countries - Panama, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. There are only 15 species of bats in the Americas (and another 3 species in Asia) known to make their roosts (tents/sleeping quarters) underneath the leaves of plants. Since the bats are tiny the home inside of the leaves gives good protection from the rain and possible predators and they look quite comfy in there. How do the manage to hang on to the stem upside down and sleep? Having white fur and yellow nose and skin is also extra rare for bats.
