SEBA´S SHORT-TAILED BAT Carollia perspicillata
This is a small forest bat, identified by the short tail, somewhat lost inside a well-developed uropatagium and the warty V-shape on the lower lip. They are able to tolerate a reasonable degree of habitat disturbance and may even form small colonies in human dwellings in some areas.
