Greenhall's dog-faced bat

Mammals

Greenhall's dog-faced bat (Cynomops greenhalli) is a South American insect-eating bat of the family Molossidae. It lives in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, the Guianas, northeastern Brazil and Trinidad, at low elevations. Its body length is given as 40 to 97 millimetres, and it has yellowish-brown to black fur on the upper body and a grey underside, with a broad face, widely separated eyes, short rounded ears, a square antitragus, unwrinkled lips and a broad snout. Colonies of 50 to 77 bats roost in hollow branches of large trees, and males and females stay together all year. The bat is named after Arthur Greenhall, a scientist who led the rabies program at the Trinidad Regional Virus Laboratory in Port of Spain.
