The white-lined broad-nosed bat is a small frugivorous bat with characteristic white stripes on the face and back. It lives in the tropical forests of Central and South America and is active only at night.
The white-lined broad-nosed bat differs from closely related species by its bright white stripes on the face and back. It is important for nature because it disperses seeds of fruit trees and helps the forest regenerate.
