Honduran White Bats

Introduces characteristics, habitat, and behaviors of the Honduran white bat.

The Honduran White Bat is also known as just the White Bat. It's a species of bat that's colored white, that's why - while most bat species are colored black. Also, a lot of bats look scary (it's one of the reasons why they're popular around Halloween) - but that's not the case with the Honduran White Bat, because it's actually quite cute. It looks like a white marshmallow - how can it be not cute? This is also a very small species of bat, so it's really not scary at all. In fact, even a small child can hold it in his or her small hands. Excited to learn more about the Honduran White Bat?

RSPB Spotlight: Bats is packed with eye-catching, informative colour photographs and features succinct, detailed text written by a knowledgeable naturalist Thanks to their speed, size and nocturnal habitats, bats are among the most interesting, and least understood, mammals that frequent our homes and gardens. From their ability to make sounds that are above the range of human hearing, to their reliance on echolocation to navigate objects and find prey, their unique behaviour means that bats are seldom seen or heard. With nearly 1,400 species worldwide, bats make up around 25 per cent of all mammal species. Spotlight Bats features all 17 species that live and breed in the British Isles, as well as an array of the most fascinating bats from around the world, including some of the more charismatic species such as vampire bats and fishing bats.
