This creature is one of the cutest and silliest looking creatures I have incountered recently. This bat wich is native to the Pqcific Coast of Mexico, has a very long and narrow snout that makes it look like its face was sat on in an old epesode of Tom and Jerry. Another name for this little cutie is the "Trumpet Noes Bat" yet again thanks to its oddly shaped snout. This odd shape does come with jts advantaged, especialy when it comes to the bats tounge. This bats tounge when fully ixtended is about 2/3 the length of its body! This means this little guy can get to just about anything he wants, including his dinner. These bats diet are strictly soft bodies insects like gnats and mosquitos. They come out at dusk and hunt for bugs between trees. As well as when the sun comes up they roost in small groups. Another thing is they roost IN bannana leavs, witch is where they get their name.
