Wikipedia Overview

Phyllostomidae is one of the twenty families of bats in the mammalian order Chiroptera and is part of the microbat suborder. Members of this family are called phyllostomids or leaf-nosed bats. They are found in South America, Central America, and southern North America, primarily in forests and caves, though some species can also be found in grasslands, savannas, or wetlands. They range in size from the little white-shouldered bat, at 3 cm (1 in) and no tail, to the greater spear-nosed bat, at 13 cm (5 in) plus a 4 cm (2 in) tail. Like all bats, phyllostomids are capable of true and sustained flight, and have forearm lengths ranging from multiple species with 3 cm (1 in), to the greater spear-nosed bat at 10 cm (4 in). They primarily eat insects, fruit, nectar, and pollen, though the greater spear-nosed bat, big-eared woolly bat, and spectral bat will also eat birds, bats, and small mammals, and the three vampire bat species of the subfamily Desmodontinae solely consume blood. Almost no phyllostomids have population estimates, though the greater long-nosed bat, Bokermann's nectar bat, Dekeyser's nectar bat, Fernandez's sword-nosed bat, Guadeloupe big-eyed bat, and Lesser yellow-shouldered bat are categorized as endangered species, and the Jamaican flower bat is categorized as critically endangered with a population as low as around 250 mature individuals.
