Greater round-eared bat

Mammals

The greater round-eared bat, Tonatia bidens, is a bat species described by Johann Baptist von Spix in 1823. It is found in northeastern and southern Brazil, northern Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. The species feeds on fruit and also hunts small birds; once a bird is caught, it is taken to a shelter and consumed there, a behaviour reported from the Atlantic forest of Brazil in a paper in the Journal of Tropical Ecology. The International Union for Conservation of Nature lists the species as Data Deficient, meaning that its status cannot yet be judged from the information available.
