- Title
Long-term cave roosting in the spectral bat (Vampyrum spectrum).
- Authors
Dinets, Vladimir
- Abstract
The spectral bat (Vampyrum spectrum) is believed to be a tree-roosting species that never enters caves. In 2008, a single spectral bat was found roosting in a cave on Utila Island, Honduras. Analysis of recent reports and photos available online shows that the same individual is still intermittently present at the same roosting site as of 2016; this are the first data on spectral bat longevity in the wild.
