The bat team did some research on bats on the banks of the River Parana in a place called Puerto Rzpecki last week.
We managed to capture 2 new species for the team. Noctilio albiventris and its larger cousin (see photo) Noctilio leporinus.
These are both large bats that hunt over the surface of the water, leporinus catching small fish. Both species are brightly coloured and have large feet and claws with which to catch their prey. They both have a dorsal stripe.
