LaVal's disk-winged bat

Mammals

LaVal's disk-winged bat (Thyroptera lavali) is a species of bat in the family Thyropteridae, the disk-winged bats of the American tropics. It is native to Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and Brazil, where it has been recorded near streams in tropical rainforest. Like its relatives it is insectivorous. The species is poorly studied and is believed to be rare, so little is yet known about its biology beyond where it has been found. Its scientific name honours the American zoologist Richard K. LaVal.
