Description
This type of bat is 2.75 in (70 mm) to 3.75 in (95 mm) long and weighs less than 2 oz (57 g) (same for male and female). The name of this species comes from the furrow down its face. The furrow is partially covered by its nose leaf and that’s why it appears to be two slits from the eyes to the nostrils. It has a reddish brown to gray fur on the back and upper areas. The torso is pale grey.
