Fringed fruit-eating bat

The fringed fruit-eating bat, Artibeus fimbriatus, is a bat species native to South America. It is found in Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay, in regions with a tropical climate where there is little rainfall and plenty of sunny days, and it depends on abiotic factors in the wild. Its reproduction follows the time of day and the climate, beginning in the warmer seasons when the daylight hours are longer. It feeds mainly on fruits and seeds, and predominantly eats ficus and leafy bushes. It is not currently threatened with extinction, although changes to the forests and the forest community may lead to a steady decline in the bat population.
