Cutest Bat In The World

Updated June 26, 2019
The Honduran white bat, a tiny bat in Central America that sleeps hanging under leaves, is perhaps the cutest bat in the world.
The Honduran white bat (named Ectophylla alba in Latin) reaches a length of only 3.7 - 4.7 cm (1.5 - 1.9 in) and is characterized by its fluffy white fur.[1] The bats sleep upside down under leaves, protected from the sun, rain and predators.[1] They gnaw at the leaf veins extending from the large central vein, which causes the leaf to fold and form a tent.[1]
