The Honduran white bat (Ectophylla alba)..

One of the two smallest frugivorous bat species in the world, Honduran White Bats feast on figs, particularly one species of fig (Ficus colombrine). Likely as a result of this specialization, Honduran White Bats have relatively large home ranges compared to other larger, fruit-eating bat species. The bats also prefer to forage on trees that are close to their roosts and may spend all night eating at a tree.
