Endangered
Bokermann's Nectar Bat
Lonchophylla bokermanni
Bokermann's nectar bat is a bat species from South America.
Appearance
All the flight membranes are hairless and dark in color. Their fur is dense and soft. Fur on the dorsal side is yellowish brown to grayish brown, and darker than fur on the ventral, that is ash gray to grayish brown.
The forearm is 38.7–41.3 mm (1.52–1.63 in) long, and their total body length is 60–65 mm (2.4–2.6 in). Their total wingspan is 28 cm (11 in) long, and they weigh approximately 12 g (0.42 oz).
Range and habitat
It is only found in the Cerrado of Brazil. What was thought in 2010 to be an expansion of the species' previous range into the Atlantic Forest ended up as the discovery of a new, closely related species Peracchii's nectar bat.
