The silky short-tailed bat (Carollia brevicauda) is a bat species found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Mexico and Venezuela. Its diet consists primarily of fruits, but opportunistically it will glean leaves for insects, and its diet is supplemented by nectar in the dry season. It is one of the most important seed dispersers for pipers and small fruits in the area in which it resides, so the bat plays a real part in how those plants spread.
