We were delighted to capture this unusual looking, rare bat in one of our nets at the reserve on 30/03/2023. This is the first time we have seen this bat here and believe that it is the first ever captured in Esteros del Ibera.
Pygoderma bilabiatum is usually only found in Misiones, Salta & Jujuy although it has been found in Corrientes, near the border with Misiones.This is quite a large extension of its range. The bat was released unharmed after weighing & measuring.
