Caught in a net in the Yucatan, just outside the Tzabnah cave near the village of Tecoh. Sadly I don't remember the name of the Sturnira species we were catching. You could easily identify these fruit bats by the dark fur on the shoulder, particularly dark on this individual. This is a member of the Phyllostomids, the leaf-nosed bats -- see the leaf on its nose? They are a very remarkable and diverse group of neotropical bats.
