We captured two of these large bats at the private reserve belonging to Fundacion de la Vida Silvestre in Urugua-i, Misiones. They are powerful bats and have a diet that includes birds, reptiles, amphibians and other bats. They are classed as Carnivorous and are the largest bat species in Argentina (2nd largest in South America). They weigh around 85g and have a forearm measurement of around 85mm. They are only found in the heart of the Selva and this reserve was definitely very remote. We had a very successful 3 days there.
