Insular single leaf bat  (Monophyllus plethodon)

This brown to pale-buff coloured bat (3) has a small heart-shaped noseleaf and a very long snout and tongue (2). The species belongs to the glossophagine subfamily, which all have small bristles at the end of their tongues that help them to lap up nectar from the depths of flowers. This taxon also has a series of bristle-like whiskers that surround the end of their muzzle, which are particularly sensitive and help the bat to correctly position its snout within flowers when drinking (2).
