Abstract

ALVAREZ-YAX, Rocío A. et al. Reproduction of the woolly false vampire bat Chrotopterus auritus (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) in a humid tropical forest of the pacific coast of Guatemala. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2018, vol.34, e3411190. ISSN 2448-8445.  https://doi.org/10.21829/azm.2018.3411190.

We documented one female Chrotopterus auritus in a lactation state with her calf present in the ventral part of her body. The specimen was captured with a harp trap in a humid tropical forest of the Pacific coast of Guatemala, within private natural reserve Finca Patrocinio, Quetzaltenango, Guatemala on May 29th, 2017. There is little information about this species’ biology, especially within Guatemala, which reflects the importance of further studies on the wild behavior of this species.
