Leaf-nosed bat
The leaf-nosed bats (Phyllostomidae) are ecologically the most varied and diverse family within the order Chiroptera. Phyllostomid bats include within their number true predatory species that take vertebrate prey including small Dove-sized birds in the case of the False Vampire, Vampyrum spectrum, the largest bat in the Americas. Members of this family have evolved to utilize food groups such as fruit, nectar, pollen, insects, frogs, other bats and small vertebrates, and even blood.
