1 The Honduran White Bat Presented by Sean C. Counihan

2 Appearance  As you can see from the title slide, Honduran White Bats have snow-white fur and yellow noses and ears. They have an average size of 3.7 to 4.7 centimeters.

3 Habitat  These bats are found in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and western Panama at elevations from sea level to 700 meters.  As for where specifically they live, they cut certain veins in plant leaves so that they flop down. The bats then hang upside-down in the leaf.

4 Diet and Predators  The Honduran White Bat eats insects, as do all microbats. However, it feeds at least in part on fruit.  It does not have any predators, and its only fear is humans.

5 Interesting Facts  They live in colonies of one male and a harem of females.  They are one of only two species of white bats.  They are the only type of microbats to feed at least in part on fruit.

6 Conclusion In conclusion, the Honduran White Bat is a truly fascinating and wonderful animal. I hope you enjoyed my slideshow. Sean C. Counihan
