Greater White-lined sac-winged Bats

Costa Rica

Happy Halloween!!!

We spotted these Greater White-lined sac-winged Bats hanging onto a tree trunk that was along the Rio Frio in the Cano Negro Wildlife Refuge. Occasionally they would start moving up and down resembling a bunch of dried leaves on a vine blowing in the wind. My guess is that this is a method to food potential predators into thinking they aren’t anything to eat.
