The hairy fruit-eating bat is a mammal from the leaf-nosed family. It lives in tropical forests of Mexico and Central America, feeds on tree fruits, and is active only at night.
The hairy fruit-eating bat differs from related species by denser fur on the shoulders and back. It is important for nature because it disperses tree seeds and helps new plants grow in the forest.
Collects fruits from trees using vision and sense of smell at night.
