Waterhouse's Leaf-Nosed Bat

Where: Big Farmers Cay, Bahamas

When: January 23 2025

 Subject: Waterhouse's Leaf-Nosed Bat

Description: A small insectivorous bat found commonly in caves on many islands in the Central America. It's name comes from it's oddly shaped nose which it uses to help locate prey.

Interesting Fact The development of the unborn pups is slowed down until the last trimester when it speeds up dramatically. 

Personal Note & Picture: We went to a cave to look at stalactites and what have ye and found a group of them by surprise.
