Field Notes

Description:

A "Desmodus rotundus" flying.

Habitat:

I found this specimen on a wood area, in a Bamboo Truck near a river, in an environmental reserve of the Atlantic Florest, in a mountainous region.

Notes:

Some friends of mine are doing some researches of bats, then I help a little. The "Desmodus rotundus" have a hematophagous diet.
