Banana bat
The banana bat (Musonycteris harrisoni) is an endangered species of bat in the family Phyllostomidae. It is also commonly known as the trumpet-nosed bat or the Colima long-nosed bat.
Description
M. harrisoni is a medium sized bat ( 12.6g males, 10.9g females) with an extremely long rostrum, small rounded ears, and a short tail. Due to the size of the rostrum this bat also has a long skull. The rostrum makes up approximately half the length of the skull. The common coloring of this bat is grayish brown. The base of each individual hair is white with a brown tip.
Distribution and Habitat
This species was first discovered in a banana grove. (Gardner, 1977) Musonycteris harrisoni is endemic to Mexico. The main distribution within Mexico is in the states of Colima, Michoacán, and Guerrero. This bat is one of the phyllostomid bats with the smallest range, covering only approximately 20,000 km^2. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry shrubland. It is threatened by habitat loss. The maximum recorded altitude for the species is over 1,700 m.
