GREATER BONNETED BAT Eumops perotis
Eumops bats are notable for their huge, forward-facing ears which are joined across the forehead. It is a difficult group with measurements often being needed for identification purposes, but this is one species that can be easily recognised just on account of its immense size when compared to other Molossids.
