Happy Fossil Day! From our collections, here is a cast of Icaronycteris index, the earliest bat to go to bat! The original specimen was found in the Green River Formation, a Eocene geologic formation in present-day Colorado, Wyoming and Utah. . . . #bats #mammals #microchiroptera, #fossils #skeletons #anatomy #eocene #greenriver #fossilday #icaronycteris #index #naturalhistory #paleontology #itsallgoodep #instaeptx #elpaso411 #museumlife #specimens https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDPq2xDLA9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sjuzd921yx7u

In the temperate regions, where most of you presumably are/are from, nearly all the bats we’re familiar with are insectivores. In the tropics there’s plenty of insectivorous bats, too, but there’s also bats that fill other niches. There’s carnivorous bats, such as the false vampire bat, sanguivorous (blood-eating) bats, such as the actual vampire bat (which I’ll have to do a post on some time; they’re seriously cool critters), and frugivorous (fruit-eating) bats (I do have some pictures of a bat that raided my bananas, but they’re pretty poor pics).
This picture, which I took at Milpe Bird Sanctuary last summer, shows a nectarivorous bat. These ones are tiny, about hummingbird sized. They don’t seem to hover, at least not very well- they do a kind of upwards dive and grab a bit of nectar (or sugar water) at the peak. Some nectarivorous bats have little fleshy filaments on their tongues that erect when feeding, allowing the tongue to hold much more nectar than it would otherwise. I don’t know if this species does that, because I don’t even know what species this bat is! Bat identification is not nearly as easy as bird identification.
