Schmidts's big-eared bat

Mammals

Schmidts's big-eared bat (Micronycteris schmidtorum) is a small bat of Central and South America. Adults weigh roughly 7 to 10 grams and have forearms 33 to 36 millimetres long, with long ears that end in rounded tips. The fur on the back is brown, while the underparts are light gray or whitish, and the dental formula gives a total of 34 teeth. The species feeds mainly on insects, although it may also take some fruit, and it is nocturnal, spending the day roosting in sheltered places such as hollow trees or human-built structures. Its range runs from Mexico and Central America through Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil to French Guiana, and it is generally recorded in lowland areas. The IUCN assessed it as a least-concern species in 2016.
