Hairy little fruit bat

Mammals

The hairy little fruit bat (Rhinophylla alethina) is a species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. English Wikipedia places it in Colombia and Ecuador, describes it as nocturnal and notes that the IUCN lists it as near-threatened. The GBIF taxonomic backbone accepts the name and cites it to Handley, 1966, and the GBIF record of the IUCN Red List category confirms the Near Threatened rating, which means the species is close to qualifying for a threatened category. The sources read say nothing about its diet, roosting sites or population size, so this entry sticks to its classification, range, activity pattern and conservation category.
