Description
Description

The Honduran White Bat (Ectophylla alba) is a bat species with distinctive, entirely white fur. The nose-leaf is pronounced and with a bright yellow-orange coloration. The wing membranes are black, and the ears, tragi, and lips are the same bright yellow-orange color as the nose-leaf. The Honduran White Bat roosts in leaf tents that they construct; these are built by strategically cutting the leaf ribs with their teeth. They prefer leaves in low understory vegetation density, and they are distributed throughout the Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and western Panama. As frugivores, they almost exclusively eat one type of fig.
