Cutest Bat In The World

The Honduran white bat (named Ectophylla alba in Latin) reaches a length of only 3.7 - 4.7 cm (1.5 - 1.9 in) and is characterized by its fluffy white fur.^[1] The bats sleep upside down under leaves, protected from the sun, rain and predators.^[1] They gnaw at the leaf veins extending from the large central vein, which causes the leaf to fold and form a tent.^[1]
