Jamaican fruit-eating bat (Artibeus jamaicensis)

Jamaican fruit-eating bats are a species of leaf-nosed bat characterized by a leaflike protrusion on their snout. The purpose of the nose leaf is unknown, but it’s thought to play a role in echolocation. Although Jamaican fruit-eating bats are capable of using echolocation, they instead rely on their senses of vision and smell to find food. The hair of the Jamaican fruit-eating bat is brown or black and paler on the underparts. Pale white markings are present above and below the eyes. Jamaican fruit-eating bats have a 16-inch (41-centimetre) wingspan.
